Men's team

Panionios had had a water polo team by the period it was based in Smyrna, before 1922. It kept up the team when it moved in Athens but some time later it was dissolved.
The water polo team of Panionios was refounded again in 1985, after the building of natatorium in Nea Smirni.
In the ’90s, the water polo men section gradually comes back to top levels and participates in the top division A1 Ethniki for several years. However, poor economics cause the section to relegate again to B division. In season 1994-95, Panionios won the championship of A2 Ethniki and got promoted to A1 Ethniki.
Since 2005, Panionios stars in the championship, finishing in the first places every year. Soonly it had successes in European competitions. It played two times in the final of the LEN Euro Cup but was defeated. Panionios had played five times in the final of the Greek cup but has been defeated in all matches.
