History
editPVK Jadran was founded in the summer of 1922 as a merger between two water polo clubs, Bijela Vila and Spjaža. It was then registered at the Swimming Federation of Yugoslavia. It was the only water club in the Bay of Kotor region and played against teams from Dubrovnik. PVK Jadran's first win was when they had beaten VK Građani, the best clubs in Yugoslavia at the time after VK Jug and VK Jadran.
After World War II in 1945, the national championship was held in Ljubljana and Jadran went, representing Montenegro, and won fourth place. Jadran also played final game in the Euroleague in 2004 where was defeated by Honved.
In 2018–19 season, PVK Jadran was a runner-up in 2018–19 LEN Euro Cup, after losing on aggregate with 16–15 to the French team Marseille.[1]
