Underwater hockey is a non-contact sport played entirely underwater. Two teams of six players each compete to maneuver a weighted puck into the opposing team’s goal, all while holding their breath and swimming around the pool’s bottom. The players use short sticks to push the puck along the pool floor and make short passes to teammates as they advance the puck towards their opponents goal.
