Help & advice for Parents
Movement within the programme
It is important that parents and divers are aware that movement through the programme is not a “given” just for taking part. Some divers may never progress past the novice squad, others may move through the programme at a rapid rate.
Some divers get stuck on one skill they simply may never get, for psychological, technical or physical reasons (or a combination of all of these). The coaches do their best to ensure divers are working towards the skills required for the next level, but they will not work solely on the problem skill as this is boring, there is still no guarantee they will get it and working on just one skill will be detrimental to all other areas of their diving.
