It’s life in the pool as usual for the UCLA women’s water
polo team this week, as the Bruins will be fine-tuning their skills in preparation for
the UCSB Winter Invitational this weekend.

This weekend, spectators at the Spieker Aquatics Center witnessed a show as the UCLA women’s water polo team put on a clinic for the fans that demonstrated how hard it had been working in the offseason.

After focusing on conditioning, pass deflection and togetherness in the offseason, the UCLA women’s water polo team is eager to get back into the pool. The team returns with a strong core from last season, along with five new freshmen and believes it can avenge the loss suffered in the semifinals of last year’s NCAA tournament.

The experience gained in a close match in any sport is invaluable, especially when playing against a crosstown rival in a tournament decided by one stroke.

Over the past few days, the UCLA women’s golf team proved why it is ranked No. 1 in the nation with a record-breaking performance that could define the season.
