About Us

Dublin Diving Club was established in 2004 and has become the leading force of springboard and platform diving in Ireland. Working closely with Swim Ireland and the Irish Sports Council the club has been responsible for the development of Irish diving, bringing athletes from complete beginners to international competitive standards.

The programme provided by the club is designed to offer the sport of diving to anyone who is interested. Through a series of beginner courses and associated activities (gym and trampolining), talented youngsters are afforded the opportunity to enter the more advanced training squads where the emphasis is placed on personal achievement, excellence, competitive success, and enjoyment. As well as the comprehensive competitive programme there is also space within the scheme for enthusiastic divers who wish to pursue the sport recreationally without the pressure of competitive involvement.

Participants learn the basic skills, trampoline and dryland and diving techniques all the way up to competitive training skills. Personal and general skills are taught including self discipline, courage, coordination, balance, grace, strength, flexibility, team spirit, sport psychology, fitness and health, planning, focus and determination.
