The diving
squad is divided into three
groups Junior, Intermediate
and Senior. Divers will be
taught the mechanics of the
dives from a beginners level
through to a more advanced
competitive level. Strength
and flexibility will be worked
on frequently in order to
prepare the divers for more
advanced dives.
Dress code
consists of well fitting
trunks for boys and a one
piece swimsuit for girls,
shorts and bikinis are

that divers complete a minimum
of 10 mins warm up and
flexibility prior to the
session starting.
Sunday
sessions are subject to

due to competitions or pool
closures. Divers arriving
late for sessions will not
be admitted.

JUNIOR
SQUAD
In this group a large
amount of time will be spent
on making divers aware of
the correct body positions
for take-off, flight and
entry. Basic jumps and dives
will be practiced diligently
with and without the hurdle
step. It is from this group
we expect to find potential
competitors to represent
the club, it is therefore
expected that members are
committed to the training
programme.

INTERMEDIATE
SQUAD
In this group we are
looking for a daring outlook
and willingness to have a
go, combined with an understanding
of safe practice. More advanced
work will be completed on
flexibility and strength
training. Divers in this
group will work towards competitions
and will be expected to compete
when requested to do so.
The level of work required
in this group will increase
significantly from Junior
Squad and divers will be
expected to attend all the
sessions available and also
complete extra strength and
flexibility training in their
own time in order to improve
there dives.

progress to a more advanced
