Some 11 boys and 11 girls competed in the u14s B division games against teams from the country, metropolitan NSW and some interstate teams.
The boys earned a silver while the girls won a bronze at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre after both facing the Canberra Dolphins club in the final.
The u16s boys side, who finished 16th, was up against many of the national squads.
In their final playoff, they could not quite get on top of the Cronulla B team and went down 4-9.
However, they had a very strong game and were happy with their performance.
Southern Highlands Water Polo president Miles Lochhead said this was a very rewarding tournament for all their players.
"Over the two weeks, all players had an opportunity to shine," Lochhead said.
"They put into practice everything they learnt this season and worked really hard.
"Outcomes like these don't come without hard work.
"Throughout the season, there has been a significant increase in training intensity and skill acquisition, and the players have all embraced this with enthusiasm."
With the success achieved this time around, the teams are all excited and look forward to the next competition.
