Vale Steve "Beaker" Robinson

The UWAWPC is saddened to announce that Steve Robinson OAM has passed away after his protracted and courageous battle with MND.

A Rhodes Scholar and originally hailing from Zimbabwe, Steve arrived at the club in 1990 soon after his time at Oxford. With a strong physique and an equally powerful, charismatic voice, Steve soon made his mark in the Perth water polo community and beyond. Steve was in our A Grade premiership winning team in the season of 1993/94 and went on to play in many Senior Men's premiership winning teams in the decades after. Steve was a key member of many UWAWPC Master's trips to international tournaments in recent years. Post game parties back at Steve's houses were legendary with sing-a-longs to Steve playing the piano well into the early hours. Steve dressing up as Santa at club Christmas parties featured throughout the 90's.

A keen open water swimmer, Steve swam to Rottnest solo 4 times and also completed crossings as a duo and teams with UWAWPC club mates multiple times. He became a pivotal figure at Superfins in August 2017 when his son, Keith, joined the club. As treasurer, his involvement in Superfins spans roles such as Pantomime Writer and Director, organising various open swimming activities, and coordinating team entries for the annual Busselton Jetty Swim.

Outside of the pool, Steve left an indelible mark on community organisations, having served on the boards of the Centre for Cerebral Palsy (now the Ability Centre), Woodlands Primary School (the main sports oval is named after him) and he chaired an Aboriginal charitable organisation. Steve was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the General Division in 2024 for his commitment to community service.

In recent years, Steve became an inspirational advocate and champion for those living with MND, and an active member of the Motor Neurone Disease Association of WA community. He engaged in many fundraising initiatives including a skydive over Rottnest in 2024.

A musician, a composer, a playwright, a poet, a published author, and a long time Little Athletics coach, Steve Robinson had many talented gifts that he generously shared with those around him with good humour and his big booming laugh.

Our thoughts and condolences go to Rose-Anne, Keith, Emma and Lucy, to his extended family and to all his friends. The world has lost a remarkable person and all those who knew and loved him will miss Beaker immensely.

Everything seems to be going up right now…
Petrol. Groceries. Interest rates.

So we thought we’d go the other way.

We’ve made changes to our Winter Programme to add more flexibility and lower-cost options for players and families.

More choice. More flexibility. More accessible.

💪 UWAWPC Busy Bee delivers🐝

A huge shout out to the incredible group of club members who turned up on Saturday morning and absolutely powered through our Busy Bee!

What we thought would take 2 hours… was done in just 1 hour 🙌

That kind of effort doesn’t happen by accident – it’s what makes our club so special.

Special mention to our younger members who rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in – your energy and willingness to help didn’t go unnoticed 👏

Club President Peter Hughes can be seen here thanking the group, affectionately dubbing them the “1% Club” – a nod to the impact a small group can have when everyone pulls together.

To everyone who gave up their time – thank you. This is your club, and days like this are what keep it strong 💙

💪 WE NEED YOUR HELP THIS SATURDAY (2nd May) 💪

After a fantastic summer season, it’s time to get our pool ready for winter - and we can’t do it without our community.

We’re holding a Club Busy Bee at the Water Polo Pool this Saturday 2nd May from 8:30am - 10:30am and would love as many helping hands as possible.

We’ve got a skip bin on site and will be clearing out and moving equipment - so it’s all hands on deck. The more people we have, the quicker and easier it will be for everyone.

If you can spare an hour (or two), or bring along a family member, it would be hugely appreciated.

👉 RSVP to: [email protected] (and let us know how many you can bring)

This is a great chance to pitch in together and support the club - every bit of help really does make a difference.

Thanks so much in advance - we’d love to see you there!
