The Development Squad is designed for divers who have progressed beyond the Intermediate program and are ready to increase their training commitment while developing the skills required for competitive diving.
Training focuses on refining technique across all diving groups, improving consistency and confidence, increasing physical preparation, and developing the discipline and work ethic required for higher-level performance. Divers will continue to build their dive lists, progress onto additional boards where appropriate, and gain experience through competition participation where appropriate.
This squad provides the bridge between recreational diving and the Performance Squad, preparing athletes to meet competition standards while continuing to develop at a pace suited to their individual goals and ability.
Placement in the Development Squad is by coach recommendation.
