National Skills Champion and Bronze medallist win for Dacorum Diving Club.
5-6 May 2012 - Southampton
Held over two days, the National Skills Competition is The Level 2 (Novice) Skills competition of the year!
Divers compete the 10 required skills dives, four each from the Poolside and 3m boards; and two skills dives, and two optional dives from a set choice on the 1m board.
Dacorum Diving Club fielded 10 divers, the biggest National Skills team in our club's history, and won a Gold, Bronze, and had three divers in the top 8 of their respective competitions.
Due to the record amount of entries, Girls Group D and C were both split into their seperate age groups (Girls Group D - 10 and 11, Girls Group C - 12 and 13).
This was for most divers, their first ever National Competition and all competed well and did the club proud.
