Our Squads and program levels
Our diving squads are structured for each level to build on the last, giving divers a clear pathway from beginner to advanced.
Dive Stars (Beginner)
Dive Stars is designed for children aged 6+ who are new to diving. This squad builds water confidence, body awareness, and foundational skills through fun activities like forward and backward jumps, board bouncing, and simple somersaults from the pool edge or low springboards. Divers progress to Bronze Squad once they have mastered these basics.
Bronze Squad (Advanced Beginner)
Bronze Squad is for divers with some experience and good aerial awareness. Sessions focus on key foundational dives such as forward jumps and dives, back jumps and dives, somersaults and inward dives, as well as basic hurdle technique, from both 1 m and 3 m boards. Divers also develop strength and spatial awareness in the water, preparing them to move into Silver Squad.
Silver Squad (Development / Competitive)
Silver Squad is designed for divers ready to commit to competitions. Training includes a variety of dives from 1 m and 3 m boards, incorporating forward, backward, inward, and somersaults. Divers attend one to three sessions per week, improving technique, strength, and confidence, while preparing for school competitions and Diving Victoria events. Advancement to Gold Squad is based on meeting age-appropriate dive requirements.
Gold Squad (Advanced / Competitive)
Gold Squad is our top-level program for divers targeting Club Challenge, State, and National competitions. Divers train 2–4 times per week in 2-hour sessions that include pool and dryland training to build strength, flexibility, aerial control and excellent diving technique. The focus is on developing a competition dive list across multiple boards, enhancing fitness, and achieving competitive goals at the highest level.
Training environment & tools
Our 4 m-deep dive pool houses 1 m and 3 m springboards, 5m platform, and we also have dryland training areas with trampolines and sprung floors to improve aerial awareness, strength, and control. Dryland sessions, especially for Silver and Gold squads, focus on core stability, flexibility, and strength exercises that complement in-water training.
