Neptunes WPSC

Neptunes Water Polo and Swimming Club, known simply as Neptunes WPSC, is one of the names that comes up whenever people in Malta talk about water polo. The club is based in St Julian's, the lively seaside town on the northern edge of the Sliema and St Julian's resort strip, and it describes itself as a home of winners. Alongside its competitive teams it runs a swimming school and adult training groups, so it matters to visitors and residents who simply want to swim better.

If you are looking at where to swim, our swimming pools in Malta directory shows other pools, and our sports clubs directory lists comparable clubs.

A club with a long history

The club's website organises its history by decade, starting with the years from 1929 to 1949 and continuing through each decade up to the present day. Separate pages cover the administration, the club presidents, secretaries, treasurers and coaches, and the honours the club has collected. That structure tells you this is an established institution with deep roots rather than a recently launched swim school.

The honours pages and decade-by-decade history show a club that keeps a careful record of its past. For anyone interested in Malta's wider sporting and social life, the club is a useful window onto island culture, and our about Malta page gives the background to how the islands live and work.

Swimming school and masters in St Julian's

The St Julian's programme includes a swimming school and a masters group, and both are listed for autumn 2026 as eight week blocks. Masters is the usual name for organised training for adult swimmers, while the swimming school is aimed at those learning or improving strokes. The club also lists a partnership with Adalvo, which appears in its St Julian's navigation. Because the programmes are seasonal, it is sensible to ask which dates, levels and age groups are open before you plan a trip around a course, and to ask early if you are travelling in a school holiday.

The contact details name the Neptunes Balluta pool and the Alexandra Hotel pool as other pool contacts. If you are staying nearby, our where to stay in Malta guide explains the differences between the resort areas, and the hotels in Sliema and St Julian's page lists places to book.

Water polo for juniors and seniors

Water polo is the club's signature sport. The senior team and the junior teams have their own pages, and a page on foreign players covers overseas players. The junior setup spans several age groups from nursery to under 20, and the club presents it as a youth programme and academy with structured training, expert coaching and competitive opportunities. Players are chosen for attitude and ambition, and promising juniors move up to the senior squads.

For a UK parent whose child already plays water polo or swims competitively, this may be a natural place to train while on a longer stay, and the Malta relocation guide explains the practicalities of a move with a family.

Ta' Qali pool and how to get in touch

Neptunes also runs a pool at Ta' Qali, which offers public swimming, a swimming school, masters, aqua aerobics, water polo, SwimPolo and one-to-one sessions. Passes for public swimming are sold for set periods, and the club's online form lets you register. The club's contact form asks you to pick an enquiry type, including St Julian's swimming school, Ta' Qali, senior and junior water polo and pool membership.

Between sessions, our things to do in Malta guide and best beaches in Malta give you ideas, and the Malta weather guide shows when the sea is warmest. To ask about anything above, use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to the club.
