The boys' and girls' water polo teams at Mechanicsburg have only been a varsity sport for a short amount of time compared to their other sports teams since their acceptance to the varsity line up in 2003. The team practices five days a week after school in the Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School Natatorium. They also host the John Quigley Memorial Water Polo Tournament, in honor of a former player John Quigley who died one year after graduating from the team while attending Penn State.
