Competitions

Star Diving Club attend many competitions around the country each year. We currently have squad divers competing at inter-club, county, regional and national competitions, including the Swim England Diving National Skills Finals, Swim England Diving National Age Group Championships and the Swim England Diving Talent Games.

Where possible we like to take divers away as a team, which involves them travelling and staying together under chaperone and coach supervision. Divers are encouraged to support one another throughout the meet, helping to build team spirit.

Our chaperones are volunteers, having been DBS checked initially and attended a Swim England Safeguarding Training course. Once you have these under your belt, you can move on to a Team Manager course (module one, then two). We rely on parents to step forward to chaperone at 'away' competitions - and the club will fund all pertinent courses.

If you are willing to volunteer as a chaperone at a future competition, please email our club administrator Lisa - lisa@stardiving.org . She can arrange for you to have a DBS check and also book you onto a safeguarding course.

Selections are made by the head coach. Not everyone in a target squad will be selected to attend a particular competition. Divers will receive an initial notification from Kirsty. This will be followed up nearer to an entry closing date by Fran, our competition secretary.
