London Orca
From LGBT Archive
London Orca, founded 2002, is the water polo team of Out to Swim, welcoming both men and women. They train at Porchester Baths, Queensway and at ULU.
In March 2002 a grant from Awards for All enabled Out to Swim London to develop a masters water polo programme to further promote participation in aquatic sparts within an atmosphere where lesbian and gay, and non-gay athletes can practice together in mutual understanding and support.
