Santa Skills 2024

Ease the strain, go by train! And that is exactly what our team did for this year's commute up to Yorkshire to Santa Skills. This festive-themed competition, hosted by City of Sheffield Diving Club at Ponds Forge, attracted more than 235 competitors from clubs around England and Scotland.

Santa Skills is run as a circuit-style meet, with divers competing a total of either six, eight or nine rounds across various heights (depending on the event). Due to its popularity and large entry numbers, all the events this year were held as straight finals to avoid a late finish.

Awards were presented to the top six in each event, and more than two-thirds of our team medalled here.

Pollyanna and Lucy competed first in E Girls (8/9). Pollyanna took the bronze on 226.65 and Lucy was fifth on 222.30. In C Girls (12/13), the second largest event, Louisa came 19th= on 212.20, Martha eighth on 232.05 and Emily a point above her in seventh on 233.05. Sophie placed fifth on 241.55, Willa claimed silver on 244.55 and Lucia won the event on 246.30.

Mable came 14th in B Girls (14/15) on 202.50, and James took the silver in the A Open (16/18) on 229.65. In D Girls (10/11), the biggest event with 44 competitors, Elodie claimed the gold on 250.05. In the final session, D Open (10/11), Oliver came away with bronze on 233.05 - less than a point splitting him and the runner-up - and Barnabas was sixth on 218.05.

So who from our team got the best raw score here? Oliver scored an insurpassable 30 points - and a £10 cash prize - for his forward tuck to pike roll from 3m. That was followed by Elodie and Sophie, who scored 27½ points apiece for their forward fall straight on 3m.

Thanks to Lottie, Debbie and Howard for volunteering their time to be our chaperones on this occasion.

The detailed results are available here.

ESSA National Diving Championships 2024

Well done to Lily who won the senior female title at the English Schools’ Swimming Association National Diving Championships.
The competition, staged this year for the first time at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre in the West Midlands, attracted more than 135 pupils from schools around the country.
Lily had secured her place on the 24-strong South East team after a win at the ESSA South East Division Selection Trials in Reading, in October.
The sixth-former, who attends George Abbot in Guildford, has represented the South East at this prestigious national school competition a number of times before. In London in 2022, she won the senior girls’ event for the first time. In 2018 she came fifth in the junior girls. As a primary pupil, she claimed silver in 2017 and was equal sixth in 2016.

Winter Club Competition 2024

Thanks to everyone who took part and supported the winter club competition at the end of November – our main fundraising event of the year.

There was a good turnout across four hours of pool time, with a total of 82 divers competing across seven events.

For many newcomers in our programme this was their first ever competition. The meet included an event for our adult divers. Parents and divers in the first couple of sessions were also treated to dive shows from some of our development and age-group squad divers.
Any idea who got the best ‘raw score’ in the competition – in other words, the highest points when all three judges’ awards are added together (before being multiplied by the degree of difficulty)?
In the Intermediate event, Sienna scored a massive 27.00 points for her falling dive from 3m.
Any idea who got the 'highest scoring' dive of the competition – in other words, the highest points when all three judges’ awards are added together and then multiplied by the degree of difficulty?
In Adults, Helen scored 39.00 for her back dive ½ twist straight from 3m and 38.95 for her back dive straight from 3m. Those were followed by James, in Squads (B+), who scored 38.50 for his inward 1½ somersaults with tuck from 1m.

Big thanks again to everyone for their support, particularly Louise and Lottie who volunteered their time throughout the afternoon to man the fundraising table.

The detailed results and a selection of photos from the meet are available here.

Peter Waterfield Novices 2024

Well done to our team of 12 divers who competed at the Peter Waterfield Novices at the Quays in Southampton.

The format involved eight to 13-year-olds competing 12 rounds over three stations (poolside, 1m and 3m), and 14 to 16-year-olds diving 10 rounds across two stations (1m and 3m).

Swim England Talent Games 2024
Congratulations to Cai and Lily, our two divers who competed at this year's Swim England Talent Games.
The competition, held at the John Charles Centre for Sport in Leeds, serves as a selection event for the Swim England Diving Youth Development Squad (previously Team Z).
Divers aged 11 years and under at calendar year end compete across a variety of dry-land and pool-based activities over two days.
Dry land took place on day one, comprising four areas of testing: physical, acrobatic (dry board), drills and come-outs, and mobility and stability.
The pool element was held on day two, with the divers assessed on a range of skills, line-ups and dives from the 1m and 3m springboards and 3m and 5m platforms. Cai scored 89.58 in dry land, 214.50 in the pool and 161.08 overall. Meanwhile Lily scored 90.75 in dry land, first in the pool on 255.50 and was fifth overall on 175.92.

The results here are calculated differently to a ‘normal’ diving competition. A maximum of 197 points are up for grabs in dry land and 140 points in the pool. The overall total is not a combination of the overall score from dry land and pool. Each skill has an individual weighting that contributes to the overall combined score.

VIPs at this year’s meet included Team GB’s Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding, 3m synchro bronze medallists at the summer Olympics in Paris.

Diving parallel in the C Girls platform prelim, Sophia qualified in first on 205.00 and Florence in sixth on 164.10. In the final, Sophia won the event on 109.60 and Florence was fifth on 86.30.
