Try Underwater Rugby – Beginner Session

Curious about underwater rugby? Come join our beginner-friendly session and try one of the most unique team sports in the world.

Underwater rugby is a fast-paced, full-contact team sport played at the bottom of a swimming pool. It combines swimming, diving, teamwork, and strategy in a way that is completely different from traditional sports.
This session is designed for beginners, so everyone is welcome — whether you’ve never heard of the sport before or you’ve always wanted to give it a go. You do not need prior underwater rugby experience.

No experience needed — just bring swimwear and curiosity.

What to expect

• A friendly introduction to the sport
• Basic rules and how the game works
• A beginner-focused practice session in the pool
• A chance to meet the Auckland Underwater Rugby community

Gear

If you already have your own mask, fins, and snorkel, feel free to bring them.
If not, no problem — we have enough gear, so you do not need to buy anything to come and try it.

Cost

Your first session is free.
We want people to come, try it properly, and hopefully fall in love with the sport.
