You may find a great variety of the required ABC gear not only at diving shops but even at supermarkets and of course online, just a few clicks away. But not all fins, masks, and snorkels are fit to play UWR, to be honest, some sets are just hazardously trashy. The most expensive diving gear may also not be the best pick for rugby, but the best rugby kits won’t disappoint in the sea either.
Let’s see the lineup of diving products from a rugby player’s perspective!
UWR Minions - Laura Sambo Nieto (Spain)
Are you a greater strategist than Napoleon Bonaparte?
You twist the ball better than James LeBron?
You enjoy the freedom of diving without scuba tanks?
You wanna be faster in the water than the IronLady?
And you have not yet tried underwater rugby?!
There is very little literature on the topic of training UWR, most clubs build their training on the base of trial and error and try to learn the methods of other clubs. This training concept may be helpful for new clubs in developing their own training methods.
"The more complex a movement is, the more it's worth to take it apart to it's elements in order to learn it. Googles and snorkel are required so that breathing, which coordinates the whole process, can be left to be practiced at the end, while fins are to aid proper body pose and technique. The board allows the movement of legs and arms to be practiced separately, and I've noted swimsuits too, because too often you see newbies wearing beach shorts at the pool which act like flimsy breaking chutes in the water."
Little help with taming the waves.
All the stuff you need to play underwater rugby.
