The water polo competition will welcome players from all over the world, and at all levels. This tournament is both for the experienced player and for the inexperienced, so you just have to enjoy the game of water polo to sign up for the tournament.
The 2009 International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics Championships will be held together with the water polo competition at the World Outgames 2009, in cooperation with
IGLA and
Copenhagen Mermates, which is a part of the Danish organization PAN Idraet.
In addition to water polo, the IGLA championships will feature the other aquatics: swimming, synchronized swimming and diving.
More specific information about this sport will follow at the end of Early registration on 1 October 2008.
