Following the announcement from UK Sport that Water Polo was to receive a 75% cut in expected funding the British Swimming board has maintained its commitment to find support for both the mens and womens programmes. National Performance Director Nick Hume has been working with Ian Mason, Director of World Class Operations, on the budget for next year and a long term strategy with a view to having both teams competing at the London 2012 Olympics.
During the British Championships in Manchester on 21/22 Feb 09, British Swimming Chief Executive Officer David Sparkes and Mason attended the British Water Polo Committee meeting to explain what steps British Swimming has taken for the sport and carefully listen to their views on the way forward.
