Our daughter has been diving with CDT for around 4 ½ years. Her time at the club has benefited her physical, mental strength and fitness. It has created strong bonds and friendships by being part of a welcoming team both in out of the pool. The children and coaches support each other enthusiastically and the team spirit is strong. When the pool was forced to close due to Covid restrictions the coaches moved to live online training sessions with minimal disruptions. The team provided the support our daughter needed. Alice and Dan, the team coaches, are extremely hard working and dedicated and have always treated her with patience and kindness, in a sport which can take some bravery.

Diving is an incredibly fun sport that encourages you to challenge yourself and learn new things. Along the way of this incredible experience, you will make new friends from the club. I would highly recommend this sport to anyone who like water and challenges.
Daisy – Diver age 13
Our club is like one big family, we always have fun but are serious and get dives done when we need to do. The coaches like to challenge us and help us work through the faults. When we are scared, they will talk to us and make us feel better about the situation.

The coaches make sure we have a great time and have been there through this stressful time of adversity in our life. Their simple presence makes me so happy because I know that I am in a happy place where I am supported, understood and work hard. The coaches have a great relationship with the team and are a very special part of my life. Without Alice and Dan life would not have been so great in this strange time. I really think that these coaches are so amazing, they know how to make us work hard and are so positive and fun. They don’t just care about our physical health but also care about how we feel mentally.

My favourite thing about diving is that it’s a place to learn but to also have fun at the same time. The coaches are very supporting, and they always think about us first. They give us freedom to do what we like and show us how to become better divers.
Zia – Diver age 10
I have been diving for about 6 years. Diving feels like a second home. I was coached by Alice and she was very supporting and let me do lots of dives. I am now coached by Dan and he has pushed me to my limits which has made me a better diver.
