Founded in 2007 and formerly part of Deben Swimming Club, Suffolk Coastal Torpedoes is one of the most progressive water polo clubs in the East Region. We started with a small number of youngsters trying mini-polo and have grown into a club where several of our players compete in regional and national teams and 4 of our players have succeeded into the England Talent Squad. Compared to other clubs we have a large number of girls who play in both mixed and girls leagues as well as at national level.
We train at Woodbridge, Felixstowe and Ipswich and always welcome new players of any age, both boys and girls, so if you would like to have a go at this fast, exciting and fun team sport then please contact us.
Dear members,
Although pools are re-opening, we will not be starting back until at least September.
It will not be the same format of sessions we used to run.
There are many new rules and regulations that we need to review and agree with the pools where we operate. This is a huge amount of work and we need to be sure we can safely operate under the new rules. We just don’t have any answers yet.
As soon as we have more news we will let you know.
Please check your emails regarding our approach to your Monthly club subscriptions during this time.
Dear parents and players,
We will have all seen the latest guidance issued by the government in response to Covid-19 to limit social interaction. Whilst Swim England are saying at the moment whilst schools are still open they see no reason for clubs to suspend club training session at this stage that left us in a difficult position as to what to do as a club.
The consensus of of the committee was that we should suspend all of our water polo training sessions effective from now.
In fact it was announced this morning that Ipswich Council are closing Crown Pools from today.
I will email out to all over the coming weeks when we decide it is sensible to resume.
We appreciate your patience at this time and mean time check out facebook page/website for updates.
Update from Swim England this evening “Having further reviewed the guidance, it is Swim England’s interpretation that club activity falls into the ‘public gathering’ category and therefore it is strongly advising clubs to consider cancelling or postponing activity – including events”
You will all appreciate that guidance and news on Covid-19 is changing rapidly. I am checking the Swim England site daily for the latest.
At this time SC Torpedoes Water Polo club is continuing with our sessions.
However please check your email/our website, facebook group before setting out to attend a session in case that position changes.
Please can you ask you to remind your players be follow any specific guidance that the swimming pool operators have posted in their pool foyers.
