Altay Altayev: 18U Head Coach
Altay Altayev, a distinguished figure in our coaching staff, is poised to take on an exciting new challenge as the Head Coach for our 18U boys. His promotion is a true reflection of his exceptional skill set and profound understanding of water polo. Altay's career as an athlete has been nothing short of extraordinary, marked by his participation as an Olympian for Kazakhstan and numerous international accomplishments. His playing career includes significant achievements such as winning Gold Medals at the Asian Games 2018 in Jakarta and the LEN Cup Championships in 2017 and 2016. Furthermore, Altay demonstrated exemplary leadership as the captain of his team during the World Junior Championships in Istanbul and Almaty.

Joshua Moser: 16U Head Coach
We are delighted to welcome Joshua Moser as our new 16U Head Coach. With a rich background in water polo, Joshua's journey includes not only a successful coaching career at Carlsbad High School and Carlsbad Water Polo Club but also noteworthy achievements in college-level coaching. His tenure as Head Coach at the California Institute of Technology stands out, where he led the Men’s and Women’s NCAA Varsity Water Polo teams to their most successful seasons in decades, including victories over scholarship programs and setting season and career records. His time with the California Institute of Technology culminated in the first top-10 ranking in women’s history in 2012. Joshua's strategic approach, further refined through his extensive experience with Water Polo Canada and his leadership roles at MidValley Water Polo Club and Flintridge Preparatory School, makes him an invaluable addition to our team. We look forward to Joshua's leadership and innovative strategies as he guides our young athletes toward greater achievements.
Forward Together
As we welcome Joshua and celebrate Altay's new role, we are enthusiastic about the future of the Rain City Water Polo Club. Their combined leadership and experience promise not only to enhance our club's performance but also to enrich our athletes' development both in and out of the pool.
