25.01.2022 WHAT A SEASON! A big congratulations to every Footscray team and player who played in the 2019 State Championship season. It’s been another great season with many great moments to remember.... Footscray finished off the years with 3/6 teams making it all the way to the Grand Final, and 2/3 of the teams finished with one last win! A big thank you to every single person involved in our club who helps out, organising teams, coaching, managing, doing the table, etc.. our club would be lost without you. Photos are from yesterday’s GF: u18 Girls, Mens SL2 & Women’s SL1.

08.01.2022 Footscray Swimming and Water Polo Clubs Inc. is deeply saddened by the passing of John Mason. John was a wonderful part of the water polo community who inspired those around him in many ways. His kindness and caring nature was evident to everyone in the community, and was most recognisable on pool deck in his coaching and reffing. Our community has lost a Life Member, a mentor, and most importantly - a friend. We are all so proud to have known him and will miss him dearly. Our members would like to extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Sue, John’s extended family, his friends, and the NYPD water polo club.

05.01.2022 We’re beyond proud of our members. None more so than Jo Clark. We knew how special Jo was when she first walked into the club, and gosh she proved us all right. Footscray Swimming and Water Polo Clubs Inc. would like to wish our Life Member Jo Clark (née Fox) and past member Bridgette Ireland (née Gusterson), and the rest of their team a big happy 20th Anniversary on the Sydney 2000 Olympic Gold Medal for Women’s Water Polo! These ladies are forever inspiring us and the next... generation of players! Thank you for showing us that team work, determination, and a whole lot of heart can go a long way in achieving your dreams!
