There will be no underwater hockey played over the period 1st June through to 31st July as the ISIS War Memorial pool at Childers will be closed for maintenance. UWH is scheduled to resume at Childers on Monday 7th August.

As the Norville pool has now closed for winter, underwater hockey has moved back to the indoor, heated ISIS War Memorial pool at Childers for the winter months from May through to September with games being played on Monday nights from 6:00 to 7:30pm.

Please note that there will however be a short break for June and July when the pool is closed for maintenance. It is expected to reopen in August at which time UWH will resume.

With the finish of the extended summer-time opening hours at the Norville Pool, the pool times for underwater hockey revert back to 5:30pm to 7:00pm on both Wednesday and Friday evenings until the pool closes at the end of April.

Underwater hockey is now in recess for the Christmas period. We will look at resuming hockey again at the Norville Pool on Wednesday 11th January 2023.

With extended summer opening hours now in operation at the Norville Pool, underwater hockey will begin playing two nights a week over the summer period with games on Wednesdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm and on Fridays from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. The Friday night games will start from 4th November.

Underwater hockey will be restarting for the summer season at the Norville Pool in Bundaberg on Wednesday 5th October starting at 5:30pm. New players are always welcome and the first three weeks are free.
