Welcome

Welcome to Sheffield Diving's electronic home. For the divers, we've provided calendars, videos and clips, training programmes and details of training sessions, so you have all the information you need to hand.

2006 Season

Although the 2005 season has only just ended, it's time to being training hard to prepare for next year. By now, we have put in place training squads, training times and support services to help athletes acheive their goals for next year. For juniors, the major events for next year are the European Junior Championships and the Junior World Championships. For Seniors, there's the World Cup - but before all that, there's the trip to Australia for the Commonwealth Games.
