Edese Zwem- & Poloclub Polar Bears, or simply Polar Bears Ede, is a swimming and water polo club based in the city of Ede, Netherlands.[1]
History
The club was founded in 1946 and the name (Polar Bears) is a tribute to the Polar Bear Division (49th (West Riding) Infantry Division), a British military unit composed not only of British but also Polish and Canadian troops, which freed the city of Ede from Nazi Germany in 1945.[citation needed]
