Water polo team

Eight years after the founding of the club, in 1987, a group of ex-swimmers chose the sports club to found a women's water polo team,[1] in 1989 after two seasons in the lower divisions, Gifa arrived in A1, a category in which it played uninterruptedly since then, getting even six second places. In the prize list of the team include two LEN trophies, won in 1999-00 and in 2001-02.[2] The team colors are pink and black. Currently the team plays in the championship serie A2.
