San Clemente Times
A new experimental underwater sport is coming to San Clemente from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 27 at the San Clemente Aquatics Center, 987 Avenida Vista Hermosa.
Watching the matches of the Underwater Torpedo League can make one gasp for air, even if while not participating. The object of the game is to shoot a hand-held “torpedo” into the opposing net. The game is played five-on-five, and players cannot breach the surface of the water while holding on to the game object.
During Saturday’s matchup between teams from San Clemente and Oceanside, the UTL will stream the underwater action via a camera equipped with wi-fi and project the match on a large screen for easy viewing. The event is free to attend.

The Underwater Torpedo League (UTL) is an underwater sport that was built by Marine Special Operations Water Survival Instructors. It has been an underground sport within the military for over a decade and is now available to the public. The club was started in 2017 with a primary goal of teaching people water confidence in a fun and safe environment. Athletes of all different skill levels have gone through the training since its inception, individuals ranging from non-swimmers to Olympic and professional athletes of all sports and modalities.
We pride ourselves in watching everyone improve their skills in the sport and break through mental and physical barriers each session. We are extremely proud to provide a trusted environment that’s focused on cultivating confidence in the water, in our athlete’s lives outside of the pool, while pushing their optimum performance in a UTL team.
