Family Flair Makes A Splash In Underwater Hockey Showdown

Newcomers the Malouf family made an impressive debut, with young Isabelle turning heads poolside thanks to her confident performance. Displaying natural talent beyond her years, Isabelle showed she’s one to watch in seasons to come.

The Bollard brothers also continued their steady rise, sharpening their game with each outing. Their energy and enthusiasm were felt across the pool, adding to both the competitiveness and camaraderie of the match.

Meanwhile, the Buschman clan once again proved formidable, with several standout moments that left spectators wondering if they had a secret training regime up their sleeves. Their consistent form and athleticism made a significant impact on the game.

With two to three more families set to return to the pool once schedules allow, the club is well positioned to maintain its strong community focus throughout the cooler months—helped in no small part by reliable pool heating and an unwavering commitment from players and families.
