Awesome sport played underwater in a pool, with a lead puck and snorkelling gear. Two teams of 6, 4 subs.

No, the sticks aren't a metre long, that would be silly. They're 30cm max length and can easily lift the 1Kg puck off the bottom of the pool. Good players can get long (3m+) and high (1m+) flicks. Neither is it a slow sport - players wear fins and can go much MUCH faster than boring old lane swimmers.

AKA [Underwater Hockey] (UWH):
Invented in 1954, the original English rules had 8 players per team and the sticks are called 'pushers', hence "Octopush".

The rules are generally similar to hockey. When going for strike at the start of a game, all the players start at their goal line. There's 2-3 water refs in a [competition], plus timekeeper and a poolside ref.

There are national and [international] competitions. Pretty big in New Zealand, South Africa, USA, UK, France, Australia, Portugal, Netherlands...

Water Polo players think their sport is challenging, but they struggle to think below the surface:
