Welcome to Scarborough Diving Club! |
|
The Scarborough Diving Club is a non-profit, parent-run organization, dedicated to serve the needs of the City of Scarborough in the sport of diving. The goal of all our programs is to promote and achieve excellence in the sport of diving for both divers and their coaches. The programs involve dry-land exercises designed to develop strength and flexibility and on the board training to perfect each of the dives in a diver’s list. Our aim is to challenge and motivate divers to perform at levels that match their abilities and potential. All programs offered with the Scarborough Diving Club are instructed by certified coaches. The majority of our coaches are nationally certified lifeguards with the National Lifeguard Service to ensure the safety of all divers. Our coaches have been selected for their experience, enthusiasm and knowledge of diving techniques. |

The competitive programs enhance the fundamentals learned during the learn-to-dive program to produce certain requirements for competition. The competitive program runs two to four nights a week with complex dry land, strengthening exercises and board work. There are different age groups and levels for those entering into competition. The Head Coach will determine which level is appropriate for every diver. The diver and Head Coach will develop a progress plan to set realistic goals to acquire and improve the necessary dives required for that level. The competitive program allows for divers to travel within Ontario and Canada over the year for a variety of competitions. The competitive program fosters team spirit along with ongoing self focus and motivation. We wish all of our competitive divers good luck during the season. |
