❤️🦈 Henley Sharks are incredibly proud! 🦈❤️
A huge congratulations to our 13 Henley Sharks who proudly represented South Australia at the 2026 13&U National Development Carnival. What an incredible achievement!
For many of our players, this was their first national tournament and their first opportunity to compete against the best young water polo athletes from across Australia. They embraced every challenge with determination, courage, and enthusiasm, taking every opportunity to learn, compete, and grow throughout the week.
Wearing the South Australian cap is something to be immensely proud of, and each of our Sharks represented both their state and our club with outstanding sportsmanship, resilience, and team spirit.
A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated coaches for their guidance and commitment, and to our amazing families for the endless support, encouragement, and countless hours poolside. These opportunities simply wouldn’t be possible without you.
To our 13 Sharks – congratulations on an outstanding carnival. You should all be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. This experience is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to watch you continue to develop, chase your goals, and make your mark in the years ahead.
