Diving Updates

I am excited to announce that following the success of live workouts for Talent athletes in the initial lockdown period we will be bringing back the ballet and yoga sessions, this time opening them up to whole diving community.  

We have the Olympic Medallist Leon Taylor running Yoga and Mindfulness sessions for Diving along with Josh Devine who will be running Ballet Conditioning sessions for Diving.

Sessions will be run on zoom at a cost of £5 per session or a bundle of sessions can be booked at a reduced price. The sessions can be booked through the Swim England shop. 

This is a great opportunity to get divers across the country together for a group session. Please forward details onto your members and encourage them to register. A timetable of the sessions is below.

Fundraising Support & Grants

Many of you may have already applied for many grants however a lot of them can be applied for again. Head to the Sport England Funds Page to get more details on the funds. Many diving clubs have been successful with multiple applications.

Sheffield Diving have just had some funding agreed to support the purchase of Two Junior Boards and Four crashmats that will be used in the sports hall when ponds forge reopens. This will significantly increase the numbers they can have in a dryland session which was one of their main challenges returning to the pool. These junior boards (which DiveGym showcased at the pathway conference) can also be moved into the pool at a later date. 

In addition to this Swim England have set up a Seminars on fundraising for clubs. These will be held on the following dates:

25th November 2020   18:00 – 19:00

2nd December 2020    18:00 – 19:00
