Patriot Polo Pals is a new inclusive program by Patriot Aquatics, created to provide children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other relevant disabilities a fun, developmental introduction to water polo. With small-group coaching, emphasis on motor and social skills, and a warm community, we’re here to make a difference—one splash at a time.
