We are settling in Rio Rancho. I am a huge water polo gal..... I want my kids to get into it. Are there any club teams in the area for adults and kids? Does the highschool have a water polo program? What about swim teams? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The High school has a swim team, but no natatorium to speak of; so there isn't an emphasis on water sports. As for the polo team, I couldn't tell you now but when I attended there in 2005 one did not exist. And, as far as I know, there isn't an indoor public pool in Rio, just two outdoor ones and one in Defined Fitness. Albuquerque is probably your best bet for water polo.

Aquatics bond passes


By BETTA FERRENDELLI/OBSERVER MANAGING EDITOR

Voters Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a $7 million bond to build a new indoor aquatics center in Rio Rancho.

Unofficially, more than 67 percent of residents said yes to the measure; results were 4,694 votes in favor compared to 1,863 opposed. Votes will be canvassed Friday.

Yes there are two water polo teams in the state of New Mexico. Duke City Aquatics is a swimming and water polo team that functions out of three pools within the city of Albuquerque with water polo only being offered at it's West Mesa Aquatic Center branch. The other team is called the Albuquerque Water Polo Team and it practices off and on at both the West Mesa Aquatic Center and the Jewish Community Center. For more information about these teams please visit Duke City Aquatics :.
