A free underwater hockey session is being offered at a swimming pool in York.
The free taster session will take place at Yearsley Swimming Pool, September 26, from 3pm to 4pm.
Underwater hockey is played at the bottom of the pool, with two teams of six players, plus up to four substitutes, wearing masks, snorkels and fins.
Players push a weighted puck into the opposing team's goal using a short stick.
The sport is played in mixed teams, with a wide range of ages from 14 to 50s, and experience levels from less than a year to around 15 years.
One player has recently competed in the under-24 World Championship.
The club currently plays weekly sessions on Fridays, 8pm to 9pm at Archbishop Holgate’s School, and Saturdays, 3pm to 4pm at Yearsley Swimming Pool.
