Mullaloo Surf Life Saving Club

FOOTY FEVER

On Sunday, 28 June, the Fremantle Dockers took on the Gold Coast Suns in an exciting AFL clash.

It was fantastic to see so many members at the club enjoying the game together in our club lounge. We also ran a "closest to the winning margin" competition, with congratulations going to Mark Hills, who guessed a margin of 49, just two points away from the Dockers' 51-point victory.

Thanks to everyone who joined us, and we look forward to seeing even more members at the club to enjoy the AFL throughout the season!

Good luck to all our Mullaloo Surf Life Saving Club members competing at this weekend's Pool Rescue State Championships!

We wish the very best of luck to all of our athletes as they take on the 2026 Pool Rescue State Championships this weekend at Perth HPC, Claremont.

Pool Rescue is an exciting and fast-growing Surf Life Saving discipline that showcases the skills our lifesavers use both in and out of the water. From obstacle swims and manikin tows to tube rescue events carrying 'patients', competitors will be putting their speed, strength, skill and teamwork to the test.

We know you've all trained incredibly hard, and we can't wait to see you represent Mullaloo with pride. Give it your all, support your teammates, and most importantly, enjoy the experience!

Good luck, team! We're all behind you!
