Bring your bad selves to Manchester - the city filled with rebel spirit.

It’s been eight years… And baby, we’re back! Manchester Sharks, the UK’s loudest and proudest inclusive water polo club, invites you to our Bad Reputation Tournament 2026.

In the pool, we play by the rules. Outside the pool, we play a little different. Manchester is the birthplace of the Suffragette movement. It was home to one of the UK’s largest protests against the discriminatory Section 28 legislation.

In challenging times, we bite back 🦈

No apologies.

No regrets.

Join us for matches and mayhem in Manchester in celebration of solidarity, rebellion and love.

This will be a club-based teams tournament – play games with your club, mingle as much as you like on poolside. You’ll play teams of a similar level, in one of four categories: newbies, rec-chill, rec-comp and competitive. If you can’t field a full team, we’ll help to matchmake until you’ve got a complete squad. Be bold and join us; if there’s one thing Manchester Sharks are known for, it’s our welcome.
