Legacy of Success
Australia’s oldest water polo club and
the most successful in W.A.
Melville Culture
Melville is a family club. It has two distinct areas of focus – social water polo and elite water polo.
We would not and could not exist without our members supports. Many members have been actively involved with the Club for more than 20 years.
We have generations of families involved in the club. It is fairly common to see grandparents with their children and grandchildren down the pool, whether it be for training, a BBQ, or both! Our members are always invited to come to the pool for training or a swim, followed by a BBQ.
The Club really is a picturesque and beautiful place to go and relax and enjoy over summer, with spectacular views and sunsets.
Our hope is that all our members enjoy being at the pool and be part of Melville Water Polo Club.
