When I finished my swimming, I noticed some people in the diving pool practicing freediving, which I had always wanted to learn. So I had a quick chat with them about their next training time and my willingness to join in. When I came to the \u2018freediving\u2019 training, I noticed it was so much more than just freediving &#8211; they were holding short sticks at the bottom of the pool and fighting each other to get a puck into the goal. <br><br>\u2018Well, I just came here to learn freediving. Once I touch the bottom, I\u2019ll definitely quit.\u2019 I told my coach, a player in the QUB UWH team. <br><br>At my third training session, I finally touched the bottom of the pool and could control my breath well. My teammates warmly congratulated me and encouraged me to join in the game just for fun and promised that they would be kind to me.  <br><br>\u2018This will be my last training anyway, and this game might be my last UWH game.\u2019 I thought and joined in. However, I changed my mind when I touched the puck set in the centre at the bottom of the pool. I wanted to play this game! When I pushed the puck into the goal, I confirmed my decision about playing the UWH in the future!  <br><br>I have been trained in the team over the past few years and played with different teams in different pools. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to join in the Women\u2019s Nationals 2022, an underwater hockey competition held in Leeds, as a member of the Irish Women\u2019s Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"418\" data-id=\"2666\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-1.png 560w, https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-1-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-1-402x300.png 402w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption>Irish Women UWH Team photo in Women\u2019s Nationals 2022 | Image@BelfastUWH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"804\" height=\"603\" data-id=\"2667\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-2.png 804w, https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-2-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.qub.ac.uk\/mandarinchinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/06\/image-2-400x300.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 804px) 100vw, 804px\" \/><figcaption>Training session with UWH teams in Ireland | Image@BelfastUWH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The fun factors of playing UWH<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are good reasons why I\u2019m now so fond of (\u975e\u5e38\u559c\u6b22 <em>f\u0113ich\u00e1ng x\u01d0huan<\/em>; \u4e50\u6b64\u4e0d\u75b2 <em>l\u00e8 c\u01d0 b\u00f9 p\u00ed<\/em>) playing underwater hockey.

Some have played UWH since their youth for over twenty years and kept up excellent levels of fitness and skills.
