Underwater Torpedo League takes the intensity of water polo 15 feet under the water as players grapple and throw a plastic torpedo into small goals.

Two teams of five are hidden inside the pool at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California this Sunday morning. There’s no submarine in the water, just a mini battle for a pool torpedo.
The athletes are stationed 13-feet underwater, practically best friends with the bottom of the pool. There’s a tiny goal on each end and an object, for which players wrestle and grab each other’s legs – all with the intention of securing a torpedo and scoring a goal.
As I hold my breath and splash underwater with my goggles on to catch the action, I can’t last more than 15 seconds before coming up for air. Most of the people I’m watching stay underwater as long as one minute.
