=====What is Underwater Rugby?=====https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoOBpXch8l4/
Underwater rugby is a fast paced, three-dimensional team sport where players jostle underwater to get the ball into a basket at the bottom of the pool. Underwater rugby is traditionally played in a 5m deep pool, however, UNSW also play in a 2m and 4m deep pool.
Each team has 6 players in the water: 2 forwards, 2 defenders and 2 goalies. Each player wears a mask, snorkel and fins.

Now's your chance to try at our beginner sessions!
We will provide spare fins, snorkels and caps - BYO gear if you have any, otherwise, just bring yourself.
Come see how we play the game, we'll help you with the basics - swimming with fins, holding your breath, diving (only 2m deep), passing the ball around, scoring on the basket.
