Audrey Groellin Occupation: Etudiante Started playing: 2016, Basel Playing highlights: J'adore jouer quand je suis de retour en Alsace ou quand j'ai un peu de temps.

Et un soir pendant l'entraînement, on m'a donné une cross, un gant et un palet et j'ai découvert le hockey sub aquatique ! Probablement l'un de mes sport favoris maintenant! |

About me: J’aime tout ce qui m’amuse et le hockey en fait partie. C’est avec Martin Reed et Fred Ruiz que j’ai découvert ce sport au sein du club de plongee de Village Neuf (pour les Suisses : c’est en France à 2 km de Bâle ;-) ) J’aime aussi la moto, les voyages, les bons vins et la bonne bouffe. Ce que j’aime le plus c’est ma petite fille que je vais bientot connaître: j’aurai le bonheur d’être mamie pour Noël.

Thomas Lapointe Occupation: Biologiste Started playing: November 2014, Basel Playing highlights: La découverte du hockey sub lors d’une manifestation à Mulhouse en 2014. J’ai tout de suite été convaincu par l’aspect technique et ludique de ce sport collectif. About me: Etant dans l’équipe technique du club de plongée/apnée Plongée des 3 frontières, je me suis dit : « Pourquoi ne pas monter une section hockey sub au club ». Pour cela il nous fallait le soutien de joueurs confirmés. Martin a été la personne qui a permis de monter ce groupe. Depuis 2014 je viens donc m’entrainer et retrouver un groupe ou la motivation première est de s’amuser. Cela m’aide également dans la pratique de l’apnée et de la plongée. Donc pour s’amuser, se défouler, le plaisir d’être dans l’eau, progresser dans d’autres sports subaquatiques, il faut jouer eu Hockey sub :-)

About me: I love sport, I love water (I also enjoy Scuba-Diving) and UWH is so much fun compared to only swimming. I remember back in september 2014, when Martin organized a trial session in Basel, I immediately loved it and realized that this was the type of sport I was missing ( Iwas also climbing and running at this time). And with the time, I am happy to see that our team is growing, gaining skills, playing better together and still have so much fun!

Maciej Bernady Occupation: Self-employed construction designer Started playing: March 2011, Belchatow, Poland Playing highlights: Vice Champion of Poland. Still waiting for a personal highlight! :-) About me: I love scuba diving and that is how it started. One of my friends then told me about underwater hockey. "Underwater what???" And I was hooked. I started the Aquarius club in Poland with just a few of my friends. The first years were hard because we had no knowledge about UWH and knew no one to ask, but through trial and error and making by hand all the sticks, pucks, gloves, goals for the club, slowly the knowledge grew. I now live in Geneva with my family and have the opportunity to play in Exocet Leman, the UWH team from Annemasse, France. In the meantime, I co-organised two underwater hockey tournaments in Poland and am currently co-organising the second Polish National Championship.

Antal Schweitzer Occupation: I.T. Project Manager & Systems Architect Started playing: 2008, Pécs, Hungary Playing highlights: Seeing how much water I can drink while playing (without drowning!). And also the rare occasions that I manage to shoot a goal against the trainer of the Pécs team! About me: I first learned to scuba dive, and loved watching the fish, but then I discovered Underwater Hockey. I never thought that I could say that I was "in love for the first time" but that is really how it was. UWH is a clean hard team sport, basic but not easy. I like going to competitions, playing in other teams as well to learn more and more. I usually play on the left or right side, but don't mind whether at the front or back. My home team is Piranha in Pécs, Hungary, but sometimes I also manage to train with the teams in Budapest, Hungary, and in Munich, Germany. My favourite tournaments are Parma, Ljubljana, Kranj, Sisak, Eszek, Ceske Budejovice and Pancevo.

Lisa Thompson Occupation: Chartered Accountant Started playing: 2002, Canterbury University, New Zealand Playing highlights: Playing for New Zealand development team at the Australian National Championships on the Gold Coast, Australia; Parma Cup 2009 for Switzerland; post-hockey pub visits in Edinburgh :-) About me: I discovered Underwater Hockey when I went to university, had great fun and lost lots of weight when I began, which was really invigorating. Went to NZ training camps for several years, which was always a good learning and game opportunity. I went to Europe for two years and travelled, had fun and played the occasional hockey competition while I was there. Moved back to New Zealand in late 2011 and am currently expecting my first baby with my UWH-playing partner!

Bram Vreven Occupation: Social Worker Started playing: 2002 Playing highlights: World Cup 2007 in Bari, Argonauta tournament in Breda, finishing Diablo II with Niels (Niels Balens, above) About me: Being the first experimental genetically enhanced human, created to exceed the normal humans at Underwater Hockey, I have had my ups and downs. First of all, I only discovered the sport around 18 years old, after playing B-Ball, skiing, running, swimming and doing nothing. This means a lot of time wasted, so I kinda lost my advantage. But from there on, I quickly began to try to use my superior body to start excelling in hockey. For a few years this went great, going to tournaments like Rome, Parma, Mosseltoernooi, Breda, Kranj... But then the worst/best thing of my life happened!!! I found myself a girl/wife and once again I found myself unable to grow my superior talents. But all stories come to a great end, and after discussing with my wife I am now able to play a fair amount of hockey and focus on the Belgian competition, lowering my "bonus weight" and having fun at foreign tournaments. A member of the Switzerland team at Ljubljana 2010.

Josh Wyatt Occupation: Full-time student, studying Mathematics Started playing: 2011, University of Warwick, England Playing highlights: No big ones as yet, but I'm never happier then when I'm playing underwater hockey! About me: I'm a student on the Erasmus programme, studying Mathematics at the University of Geneva.

I'm an enthusiastic beginner, and hope that training with the Geneva team is really going to improve my game!

Mathias Dufour Occupation: ... Started playing: 2009, Zürich About me: Captain of the Swiss national underwater rugby team and the coach of the Zürich junior underwater rugby team, Mathias spotted Martin Reed swimming the wrong way up the River Limmat in summer 2008, thought "that's a crazy thing to do, he's got to be an underwater rugby player", invited Martin to join the Underwater Sport Centre, Zürich (USZ) and effectively initiated the birth of underwater hockey in Switzerland. |

Ernst Landsberg Occupation: Actuary, Consultant Started playing: 2005, Stellenbosch, South Africa Playing highlights: 2006 Intervarsity: Stellenbosch University vs. University of Cape Town About me: Originally from Stellenbosch in South Africa, I started playing Underwater Hockey in 2005 to stay fit for spearfishing and freediving, and also to be in the water when surf conditions were not at their best. I was hooked instantly, and love the rush of playing a team sport with a really fast pace in the water. The sport opened doors not only to meet amazing people with a passion for the ocean, water and crazy sports, but it is also a great way to stay fit and healthy while enjoying the exercise. And I even found an Underwater Hockey team in Zurich when I moved here in 2011! |
