UNDERWATER HOCKEY

Is it similar to normal hockey?

Yes, it is. You have to score goals and  you can’t touch the puck with your hands. The difference is you play underwater!

What equipment do you need?

•      A mask – to cover your eyes and nose.

•      A snorkel – to help you breath when you are underwater.

•      Flippers. You don’t have to wear these, but they help you swim quickly.

•      Stick. This is only about 30 cm long.

•      Glove. It doesn’t have to be a special glove – you can wear a gardening glove!

•      Swimming cap. You have to wear this because flippers often hit you.

People of all ages and sizes play underwater hockey and you don’t have to be a great swimmer. It’s a good topic of conversation at parties!
