Clissold Swimming club is a multi-disciplinary aquatic sports club and diving is now an established and popular part of the club’s activities for both youngsters and Masters alike.
Dive training takes place at thePark Road Leisure Centre in Haringey where we work with our partners Haringey Sport & Leisure Services.
Our coach, Rick Dear, is a former Team GB diver who believes diving should be FUN and wants to instill the skills and confidence to make diving a lifelong pleasure. But we’re also keen to compete and divers from Clissold have represented the club at each of the last three London Youth Games. From here, we are ambitious to grow our membership, nourish their talents and encourage them to take part in competition diving at various and appropriate levels.
Training sessions are designed to accommodate a full range of abilities where everyone can progress at their own pace as their co-ordination and confidence improve. And for novices and seasoned divers alike, all sessions proceed through a regular set of warm-ups, poolside tumbles and jumps in order to hone the posture, strength and flexibility that are the basis of elegant diving, before moving on to the 1m and 3m boards.
Diving sessions are booked in half-termly blocks and anyone curious to give it a go is invited to get in touch with us to book a free “taster” session.
Dates for our current half-term are as follows:
Under 18s 10.45 am on April 18, 25, May 2, 9, 16, 23 (price—£30)
Masters 11.45 am on April 18, 25, May 2, 9, 16, 23 (price—£30)
