Jaime started playing water polo at the age of 12 for Frome, he played for Somerset as a Junior and went for trials to make the South West of England team. He’s played for various clubs, including Weston-Super-Mare, Bradford-on-Avon, Cranleigh, Basingstoke, Southampton and more recently, the Hampshire over 40’s team. 

Water polo has always been an important part of my life, it’s given me an opportunity to make friends regardless of where my life has taken me – it’s a great sport for fitness and camaraderie and it’s a sport that allows you to play much longer than other impact sports (rugby, football etc.).  Its hard work and there’s a physical element to it; it’s not for the faint hearted but its great fun and I hope that anyone who takes up the sport gets as much out of it as I have over the years.
