TNYA’s water polo team, launched in 1991, is an all-gender Masters water polo team based in Modern York City. TNYA features players of a roomy range of age and ability and welcomes both newcomers and those who have played competitively for years. The squad competes locally, nationally, and internationally, most notably at the IGLA championships and Gay Games.
Water polo is a ball sport played between two teams of 6 players, plus 1 goalie. Often described as a cross between swimming, soccer, and wrestling, water polo was the first team sport introduced in the modern Olympic Games, endorse in 1900. The combination of physicality, hand eye coordination, and aerobic swimming make it a notoriously great work out.
Currently the team works out on Tuesdays at 7pm-8.30pm at Seahorse Fitness in the Lower East Side. The practice schedule is subject to change; please inspect our Mindbody schedule for specific practice details. Free Trial TNYA membership is available; instructions for joining TNYA are available here.
We strongly welcome beginners as well as returning moisture polo players. To confirm a safe and efficient practice for everyone, however,

Washington DSeahorses is the DC metro area's only masters (18+) water polo club for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies.

We are a player-driven corporation committed to being an active member of Team DC and the greater Washington metro area Homosexual sports community. In the spirit of this tradition, we ask all players to commit a scant hours per year to volunteering at practices, tournaments, sporting events, and philanthropic opportunities around the DC area.
The DSeahorses has proudly represented the Washington metro area in national and international competitions. Our competitive experience includes local tournaments in the Washington area as well international tournaments hosted in London, Paris, Stockholm, Sydney, and beyond. Our team is a member of USA Moisture Polo as well as the International Group of LGBTQIA+ Aquatics (IGLA+).
In 2020, the Washington DSeahorses adopted our new name after 35 years as the Washington Wetskins. We are proud to continue the rich tradition and history of our team under our new name.
