Jr. Development

2 HOURS PER WEEK

When a Recreational diver wants to train more than once a week, the Junior Development team is the perfect opportunity to progress while still enjoying diving at a recreational level. Divers will utilize the 1m and 3m boards. Junior Development is skill level-based and open to all ages.

Development

3 HOURS PER WEEK

When a Jr. Development diver shows potential and wants to commit to additional hours of training per week, the head coach will invite them to join the Development team. Divers are introduced to competitions and more specialized and advanced dives, including the addition of dryland trampoline training. Divers will utilize the 1m and 3m boards.
The Development Team is skill level-based, but is usually for divers aged 6-9 years.

Sr. Development

4 HOURS PER WEEK

Sr. Development level divers are ready to progress from the Development team, but may not want to commit to the training hours of the competitive teams or be interested in competing. The Sr. Development team is the perfect in-between for those looking to train three days a week. Divers have the opportunity to advance their dives without the intensive training program of the competitive teams. Divers will utilize the 1m and 3m boards. The Sr. Development team is skill level-based, but usually for divers aged 10-16.

Jr. Competitive

6.5 HOURS PER WEEK

The Junior Competitive team is for divers who have progressed through the Development team and are ready and committed to increase their training, as well as the level of difficulty of their diving. Divers train three times a week and compete in provincial-based dive meets. Divers will utilize the 1m and 3m boards and 3m platform. The Junior Competitive team is skill-level based, but usually for divers aged 9-13.

Competitive

8.5 HOURS PER WEEK

The Competitive team is our most advanced diving team, training 4 days a week and competing at both provincial and national dive meets. Divers will utilize the 1m and 3m boards and 3m platform. The Competitive team is skill level-based, but usually for divers aged 13-18.
