Children ages 5-14 can join the Metro Aquatic League, a swimming, diving, and water polo league organized by the City of Albuquerque. However, children must be at least 8 years old to participate in diving and/or water polo.
Updates
Metro Swim, Dive, & Water Polo 2026
Participation involves:
- Practices Monday - Friday
- Water Polo Scrimmages Tuesdays & Thursdays
- Dive Meets Fridays
- Swim Meets Saturdays.
Sign-up for 2026 season begins on May 2, 2026 at 10 a.m..
The cost for the summer metro league is $55 and each additional child in the family is $40. This price includes daily practice and swim meets on Saturdays (includes swimming, Water Polo, and Diving).
When registering your child for the metro league, you will be asked to agree to a Parent Code of Conduct . Each pool has a limit of 100 participants for swimming, 50 participants for water polo, and 10 participants for diving per team. Each participant must register for each sport (swimming, water polo, and diving) for the summer. If your child is only signed up for one sport, they can only participate in the practice for that sport.
Example: I see that the Sierra Vista pool does not have any openings for swimming but does have openings for water polo and diving. If I sign up my child for just the Sierra Vista water polo and diving, then my child will not be able to participate in the swimming portion of the metro league.
