Andras Szeri

Andras has been coaching in the Ottawa-Hull area for many years. During his time coaching he had developed numerous high caliber water polo programs and a number of Youth, Junior and Senior National Team players, which include Olympians Aaron Feltham and Sasa Palamarevic. NT players Jamie Earle, Dusko Dakic, Edgardo Montes and and Dusan Aleksic. Between 1997 and 2002, Andras, with the help of coach Chris Klymowsky and President Sherman Nelson, re-built an almost extinct water polo club, the Ottawa Titans. After a 2 year break from coaching Andras took on the Canadian Youth National team, the Carleton Ravens Men's University team and the Hull Cadet, Youth and Junior teams. Before his departure from the Youth National team, in 2005, he guided Team Canada to the Silver Medal at the Youth Pan-Am championships. His current priority is with the WaterWalkers.
