Give it a Go - June 2025

Come and try Underwater Hockey with us at Yearsley Swimming Pool on Saturday 14th June at 3pm! This session is the perfect opportunity to learn to play Octopush with other beginners. You don't need any previous experience as long as you are a confident swimmer. We'll start by teaching you how to snorkel, then show you how to control the puck underwater and finish off with a fun informal game.

Just bring a pair of socks you don’t mind getting wet — we’ll provide all the gear you need.

Afterwards, join us for a well-earned trip to the pub!

To help us prepare, please let us know you're coming with an email to yorkoctopush@gmail.com or a social media message. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Who can play?

Everybody is welcome; teams are mixed gender, and we have players of all ages and experience level. All you need is a swimming costume, towel, some socks you don't mind getting wet, and a fun attitude. For beginners to the sport, your first month is free and £8 per session thereafter! Let us know if you want to play by filling out the form on the contact page or sending an email to yorkoctopush@gmail.com
