Diving

Diving refers to the sport of acrobatically jumping or falling into water. Most diving competitions consist of three disciplines: 1m and 3m which are performed on a springboard and 10m which is performed on a concrete platform. Successful competitors possess many of the same characteristics as gymnasts, including strength, flexibility, and the ability to control and judge body movements (kinesthetic judgment).

 

There are currently no competitive diving clubs that fall within the Cheshire and Warrington Sports partnership area. There is a single diving club which falls under the Cheshire Water Polo and Swimming Association umbrella. The current known training and location details for this club are listed below.
