The club has forged links with a number of junior clubs: Carina League Warriers Water Polo Club, Nth Brisbane Polo Bears, River City and Sunshine Coast and various schools who participate in the Brisbane Water Polo competition held during the summer months.

Our Junior Breaker program provides a pathway for our junior players to become members of our elite senior squads of the future. In our 2009 -2012 senior squads, 50% of players have come through our pathway program, since the club's inception in 2003.
