What is UWR?

Underwater Rugby (UWR) was invented in the late 1960s in Germany.
Two teams try to score a ball filled with saltwater into the opponent’s goal at the bottom of the swimming pool. Every team has six players in the water and up to six players on the bench. The game is played at a depth of 3,5 to 5m (depending on the depth of the pool). 
In general, the game is played mixed-sex, except for the large international competitions (the European and World Cups mainly).
You can find a great video below where RTL visited us in 2018!
If you want to get deeper into the question of what is UWR & to understand the game a bit better, you can watch some videos but even better, you can come along to one of our training sessions and we will show you how it’s done 😉
