Our History
Our Proud Heritage
Humble Beginnings
Melville was one of the original six clubs which competed in the inaugural Water Polo competition that commenced in Western Australia in 1946. Players for each of the competing teams were drawn from their respective swimming clubs. Melville lost that first ever Western Australian water polo grand final, to South Fremantle, in extra time. From those humble beginnings, the Melville Water Polo Club has come a long way.
