7) Former NSSC swimmer and current St. John's Prep assistant coach, Tom Gately is starting the first age group/high school water program in the state of Massachusetts, sponsored and insured by American Water Polo (www.AmericanWaterPolo.com). The program is coed and open to age group and high school swimmers interested in Water Polo. The first session will run this May/June, two nights a week, at Salem State College.  The second session will take place in August.  Coaches and players from both national and collegiate programs will be regular guests on the pool deck to ensure that both fundamentals and fun are properly conveyed to each player. Hopefully this team will lead to great things for Water Polo and Swimming over the next few years.  If interested please check out the team’s website: www.ThunderstruckPolo.com . Please contact Coach Tom for more information:
