Octopush a.k.a. Underwater Hockey
What is Octopush?
Octopush is a non-contact sport played in the swimming pool by 6 persons each side and 4 substitutes. Each player dons a Fin, Mask and Snorkel to help them move in the water and push a "Puck" at the bottom of the pool. The two teams battle underwater to push, steal and goal in the other person's team.
We invite you to come play this amazing sport with us!
