02 / This is SH

A shared pool.
A shared passion.

Team spirit, good fun and a positive atmosphere.

Water polo has been part of SH since 1959. The team returned to the water in 2008 with the opening of the indoor pool at Ásvellir, and the story continues today.

At SH, we focus on team spirit and having fun together in a positive, constructive environment. Practices combine a warm-up, technique work and games.

03 / Our history

Water polo at SH
since 1959.

  1. 1945

    The club was founded, and swim training took place in an open-air pool at Krosseyrarmalir.

  2. 1953

    Reconstruction of the pool was completed. Now finally roofed, it was renamed Sundhöll Hafnarfjarðar.

  3. 1959

    Water polo was first trained at the club.

  4. 1963

    SH competed in the Icelandic National Championship in water polo for the first time.

  5. 2008

    After a long break, the water polo division was revived when the club moved to the then brand-new 50 m indoor pool at Ásvellir.

  6. 2024

    Water polo is still going strong at the club, and the player count grows slowly but steadily.
