Diving training scheme:
Leeds City Council’s diving training scheme has been in operation since 1986, during which time it has developed into one of the largest and most successful in Great Britain. The diving training scheme, with its progressive style, allows all members to reach their maximum potential. Divers from training scheme squads have represented Great Britain in three Olympic Games (2000, 2004 and 2008).
The scheme is run by senior coach, Adrian Hinchliffe, and supported by two full time, professional coaches and a number of part-time coaches. The diving training scheme works closely with City of Leeds Diving Club, which provides the competitive outlet for divers on the scheme and is one of the most successful diving clubs in the country.
Diving in Leeds has been structured in a way to allow for the development of diving across the city and designed to offer the people of Leeds the opportunity to participate in diving at all levels from recreation to excellence. This structure caters for every diving enthusiast, from the absolute beginner through to international level competitors. There are over 100 divers on the diving training scheme and almost 100 in the lessons programme.
Working with British Diving, Leeds has also developed a huge talent identification programme and high performance training opportunities.
