Ladies Club
The ladies community within West Wickham Underwater Hockey Club has long been a beacon of strength, collaboration, and calm confidence under pressure. Underwater hockey has always been a sport where teamwork matters more than size, and where technique, awareness, and resilience win games qualities our women bring in abundance.
This page celebrates our commitment to creating space for women to train, compete, and thrive, not as a side programme, but as a core part of the club's identity.
Our successful alliance with Sussex Underwater Hockey Club is a proud example of what happens when great communities come together. Competing as Swickham Ladies, we've built a supportive, high-performance environment rooted in inclusivity and excellence in women's underwater hockey.
At the British Octopush Association (BOA) Women's Nationals 2025, Swickham Ladies continued to rise, securing third place in 2025 and proving that commitment, consistency, and team culture deliver results.
Dedicated training
Alongside competition, we prioritise training opportunities that support women at every stage, from first session confidence-building to tournament preparation. Expect focused skills work, tactical understanding, and the kind of communication that turns individual ability into team momentum.
From club sessions to GB selection
We're proud that a number of female players connected to West Wickham have been selected to play at GB level, bringing home medals and raising the standard for everyone. Their journeys show what's possible when talent meets the right environment: supportive teammates, structured development, and meaningful competition.
