Join this underwater hockey session, also known as Octopush in the UK. It is a globally played,
limited-contact sport where two teams compete to move a puck along the bottom of a swimming pool and score in the opposing team’s goal.

Players use a hockey stick, called a pusher, to propel the puck while swimming underwater.

To attend, children must be able to swim 50 metres continuously, unaided and be able to hold their breath under water confidently.
