Divers and coaches put through their paces at obstacle course club social

On a sunny June morning a few weeks ago, over 30 members of the dive squad and a handful of parents and coaches braved a local Obstacle Training Course for a fun social event with a bit of a workout thrown in for good measure.

The divers raced around the 36-component obstacle course which included ninja boards, tarzan swings, a water slide, the big tip, monkey mania and ‘the wall’. Most of the divers enjoyed the water features a little too much … followed by a lot of affection for coach Alice!

The coaches’ competitive nature came out resulting in rope burns, wet feet and a number of fine photographs. The parents demonstrated their willingness to participate and had a lovely catch up, making a few new friends along the way. Fun had by all!

Thank you to everyone who took part. If you feel you missed out, fear not, we have the next social instalment booked for the 1 August at the Cambridge Aquapark. The dive squad, coaches, committee and parents will all be let loose on over 20 slippery inflatable structures including trampolines, high boards, multiple slides, bridges, balance poles etc, all sitting quietly on a beautiful lake. What more could you ask for?

If you’d like to take part in the next social, or have some suggestions for other fun events, send a message to our social and fundraising officer through:

Moving up to platform Hallie made it a hat-trick of gold medals making her the overall junior female winner. The fight was on for the senior female title with the 5m to be the decider. Tobi scored really well but Sophia rose to the challenge with some amazing rip entries rewarded by the judges, giving her the gold medal and the overall senior female county title.

Finishing the evening the senior open event was another highlight with excellent diving and again featuring the same 3 divers for the medals. However, it was the turn of Charles to impress with his complex dives and precision entries to take gold, whilst achieving a new county platform record. Finn was close behind in silver and Rufus completed his competition with a final bronze. Despite Charles’ win here it was Finn who had the highest overall score to take the senior open county title.

The County President, Ian Liversedge, was there to enjoy the evening and present medals and trophies.
