Ben Alderson (Sedgefield Water Polo Club) has been named Northumberland and Durham Athlete of the Year for 2024.

Ben enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2024, building on his role with the SWPC Senior Men’s team and Durham University’s 1st team. He progressed through the GB pathway, starting with the U19 European Qualifiers (where he was Vice-Captain), earning England Senior selection, and ultimately representing GB at the World Cup Qualifiers — contributing two goals in a historic win.

At club level, Ben played a key role in SWPC’s promotion to BWPL Division 2, finishing the season with 22 goals, and later helped the team push for Division 1 promotion. He also captained Durham University to an unbeaten BUCS title-winning season.

Alongside his playing success, Ben has given back to the club by coaching junior teams, supporting their development and success across competitions.

Attention: Parents
Are your kids on their phones too much?

Try a sport where they can’t take phones!
Water polo might be a solution you didn’t know existed! 💪🌊

This sport pushes you physically and mentally in the best way possible. You’re constantly swimming, thinking, reacting, and working as a team all at once. It builds strength, endurance, confidence, resilience, and leadership like few other sports can.

And because it’s played in the water there’s no phones to hand! Just a ball!

💬DM to find out more!

We are looking for new players girls and boys to join our growing team.
We even have a ladies only session so m**s can try it out too!
