Octopush is the brilliantly weird British name for underwater hockey — a sport played at the bottom of a swimming pool where two teams of six use short sticks called pushers to shove a weighted puck into the opposing team's goal. The name comes from the original eight-player format and the push-stick used. It's genuinely competitive, physically demanding, and has a devoted international following. Don't sleep on it — it's way more intense than it sounds.
She started playing octopush at university and now competes in national tournaments every summer.
