Young people in South Oxhey will have a chance to take on one of the more unusual events from London 1012 thanks to a National Lottery grant.

Boys and girls aged 14 to 24 can try out six sessions of water polo at Sir James Altham Pool for £10 during February half-term.

Sessions run every day from Monday February 18 to Thursday February 21 from 3pm to 4pm followed by a double session on Friday between 2pm and 4pm, culminating in a match.

Swim school co-ordinator, Liam McCormack said: "This is very exciting for our staff as we have never hosted Water Polo here at Sir James Altham Pool before. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

"It’s amazing value at just £10 due to the Sportivate funding, and a great way to spend some time over the February school break."
