Meet Our Committee
The activities of the competitive club are managed by the committee members of Cambridge Dive Team, elected into posts at the annual general meeting held each year. They work in their spare time to help the club run smoothly and make CDT a successful diving centre. They also support the running of the separate community Learn to Dive programme.
A short summary of committee roles is set out in Committee Roles and Duties. Further information can be obtained by e mail request to chair@cambridgediving.org.uk
Sharyn Bord
Club President
Sharyn retired from competitive diving to become volunteer Head Coach of the diving section of the City of Cambridge Swimming Club. When the new Parkside Pools opened with dedicated diving facilities Sharyn raised funds to initiate a professional programme, and in 2004 founded the Cambridge Dive Team with its first full time paid Head Coach, James Etherington. Sharyn steered the Club through its first ten years as Administrator and Treasurer before taking on the President’s role. She is a judge, referee, County diving secretary and a member of the East Region Technical Diving Committee. As President she aims to use her experience to provide leadership and offer advice on club, county and regional issues, to represent the club and to provide support to coaches and other club officers.
Away from the pool and paperwork Sharyn enjoys walking, the fresh air of skiing and the peace and calm of scuba diving and also likes to pretend to be fit (unfortunately not true! – Sharyn). She has been involved in diving for a very long time.
