What is underwater hockey?

Underwater Hockey is an exciting 6v6 non-contact sport of strategy and skill. The aim of the game is to score by pushing the weighted puck into goals at the bottom of the pool. Players wear a mask, snorkel and fins for speed and visibility.

Who can play?

Everybody is welcome; teams are mixed gender, and we have players of all experience levels aged 12 - 70. 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!

If you have any questions, please see our FAQ page or feel free to email us!
