The first weekend of October marked an important milestone for Swiss men’s water polo, as the national teams - U18, U20 and the Elite squad - gathered in Sursee for the official season kickoff. Over two days of intensive training and strategic meetings, athletes and coaches came together to prepare physically and to define a unified vision for the future of the sport in Switzerland.

The event served not only as a starting point for the new season but also as an opportunity to strengthen collaboration between teams and staff. Claudio Carminati, Co-Sports Director Swiss Aquatics Water Polo, reflected on the productive weekend and shared insights into the federation’s goals for the coming years and the evolving direction of the national program.

“On Saturday, we held strategic kick-off meetings with the coaching team - Jonathan Del Galdo, head coach of the Elite and U20 squads, and Benjamin Redder, our new responsible coach of the junior national teams,” explains Carminati. “Together, we focused on building synergy across all categories and defined structured work programmes designed to achieve tangible results. These initiatives are aligned with our long-term objectives, specifically the U20 European Championships in August 2026 and the Elite European Championships in July 2027.”

Carminati emphasized that representing the national team goes beyond roles or titles.

“Being part of the national team is about much more than holding a title, whether as a coach or a player,” he says. “It must be earned through consistent performance at the club level, combined with dedication, professionalism, and a continuous drive for improvement. Above all, it means representing Switzerland with pride, discipline and determination.”

With renewed energy and clear objectives, Switzerland’s men’s water polo program is entering a new chapter - one defined by strength, unity and an unwavering motivation to make a lasting impact on the international stage.

🇨🇭💦 U20 Water Polo at 3T 2025 💦🇨🇭

At this year’s Talent Treff Tenero (3T), the spotlight is on the Swiss U20 Water Polo National Team. For Co-Sports Director Claudio Carminati, the week is more than just training:

👉 “We chose the U20s this year because we’re preparing for the European Championships next summer. This week gives us the chance for around ten intensive sessions. The U20 category is crucial – it’s the foundation for the elite national team.”

For the players, 3T means growth, connection, and challenge:

💬 Nicolas: “My goal is to really get to know the whole team and build strong bonds, especially with the younger guys I hadn’t met before.”

💬 Giacomo: “It’s very tough – two trainings a day – but it’s also a huge opportunity to test myself against the best from all over Switzerland. Many of today’s champions once came through 3T, and that shows we’re on the right track.”

With the Olympic spirit of Excellence, Friendship & Respect, the U20 squad is ready to rise to the challenge – and build the future of Swiss Water Polo. 🌊💪
