Winter club competition
Thanks to everyone who came along and supported the winter club competition at Guildford Spectrum on Saturday 29 November - our main fundraising event of the year.
There was a good turnout over four hours of pool time, with a total of 63 divers competing across eight events. For a number in our programme this was their first ever competition. Divers, parents and guardians in the first couple of sessions were also treated to dive shows from some of our skills, development and age-group squad divers.
The detailed results and a selection of photos from the meet can be found here.
New Learn to Dive Awards - Videos Now Available!
The Star Diving Team has undergone a review of the Star Diving Awards (levels 1-10) to ensure that these are the best fit for purpose and allow the divers to move along the skills and the pathway as easily and skillfully as possible.
We have made a few changes to the levels after this review. While there are not any huge adjustments, there are a few skills that have been added and some that have been shifted earlier or later in the levels. You can find the new skills under the Learn to Dive section of the website!
To see how the dives should be completed we have created videos for each level with some of our squad divers demonstrating the skills. Head over to here on the website to see these!
Please be aware that this may affect the percentage levels of your child's grade. They will however be on their correct grade that they were on or advanced to last term. The coaches will be grading them throughout the term on the new skills. While they complete this the percentages may be different from last term.
