SUMMARY:National Age Groups
DESCRIPTION:  \nReturn to Nationals for talented divers \nThis weekend saw Plymouth Life Centre host the largest national diving competition in England\, with divers travelling throughout England as well as guest divers from Scotland\, Wales\, and Dubai. \nPlymouth’s selected team of 15\, who had all qualified through regional events were keen to show off their home pool and represent their club\, demonstrating their hard work\, with the support of Pilkington Estates. This was the first Swim England National Age groups for 11 of the divers showing a great future for forthcoming competitions. \nFirst up on the Thursday was the synchro event. Plymouth’s Yvie Tucker and Eva Lang started the competition on a high\, claiming the gold medal with beautifully executed dives showing their partnership well placed\, with teammates Lexi Davies and Martha Ticehurst taking 6th place. Not to be outdone\, Noah Underwood and partner Alex Whittaker took the gold medal in the boys event\, securing Plymouth as group C/D champions in both the boys and girls category. \nThe four-day long competition saw further diving successes across all groups. \nErin Healey on the Girls group B 3m placed 22nd with some excellent diving in a large group of 28. Erin repeated her great diving on the platform event\, with an amazing front two and a half somersault in pike position from the 10m board\, which put her in 17th position\, resulting in personal bests (PB’s) on both boards. Mathilde Tassart also joined this event with a great set of dives and placed her in 21st position. \nAlex Whittaker went on to continue his success from the previous day with another gold medal following an excellent display of diving in the boys C group platform event. Not content with his two medals so far\, he performed a great set of dives on the 3m board and added a silver to his collection. Will Heath\, stepping up to his first year in group C in Age groups performed brilliantly with an amazing back one and a half somersaults in tuck placing him securely in 6th position on 3m\, and again on platform. \nThe boys were joined by Noah Underwood and Oscar Westbury on the 3m and again all four divers competed on the 1m board whereby they firmly put their mark on the competition dominating the top half of the leader board\, with Noah taking a brilliant bronze\, Alex 4th Will 5th and Oscar 6th. \nGirls C group divers had a strong team of four competing over the weekend. Yvie Tucker\, Lexi Davies and Eva Lang\, took to the boards again in a close competition on the 1m and performed a strong set of dives which placed Yvie in 6th\, just 1.9 points behind the bronze\, Lexi just behind in 7th and Eva in 10th with a PB and happy with her back one and a half somersault tucked being a highlight of her event. \nThe trio took to the 3m board the next day where Yvie performed a beautiful inward dive pike. Martha Ticehurst joined them on this board and showed a confident round of dives to the judges in her first Age Groups. Lexi topped the Plymouth Divers on this board in another strong 10th position. The final board for the girls was platform. Whilst there were no medals\, they all yet again demonstrated outstanding dives. \nGirls group A divers Maia Pearson and Ellie Pearce made for a nail-biting competition on the 1m board\, with Maia winning a bronze medal and Ellie finishing in 4th place with only 2.3 points behind her teammate with a PB. \nThe duo continued their impressive skills on the 3m board the following day with another closely fought competition whereby Maia\, following a high scoring inward two and a half somersaults in tuck secured herself her second bronze of the competition\, and Ellie finished in 9th place. \nEllie had another day of competing ahead of her in the girls A platform event\, with a solid series of dives putting her into 9th position. Teammate Ella Cornish displayed a strong start to her National Age Group debut and finished in 17th position. \nIn the Boys A 1m board Ben Kearton displayed some impressive diving\, starting well scoring all 7s on his first dive – an exceptional front one and a half somersaults tucked\, and remaining strong\, just missing a podium position\, and placing 4th with a PB. \nHarry Westbury was the only Plymouth diver in the D event and began his great introduction to the national event on the 1m board with two excellent dives and consistent scoring rewarding him with a silver medal. He competed again on the 3m board and gained a bronze to add to his silver. \nThe Plymouth Divers finished 4th overall from 14 clubs\, scooping 9 medals. Divers were coached by Tommy Davis\, and Fito Guttierez who said “I just want to say that this weekend showed our strength as a club and the fight to not give up after the pandemic! We all had a tough time\, at last the divers had a national event to make themselves proud. They showed grit and determination to perform in front of a packed balcony. We had plenty of divers in the podium and lots of top 6’s. I want to thank all the people behind the scenes for a great Nationals in our pool\, the Life Centre – the best to hold big events in the UK and beyond…” \nPlymouth Diving can look forward proudly to the next events to come. \n \n

SUMMARY:National Skills Final
DESCRIPTION:Hot on the heels of the of last weekends’ success it was the turn of the Plymouth Diving Skills Divers to test their ability against the best in England at the National Skills Diving Finals in Leeds. The competition required all divers to attain a tough qualifying score to be eligible and Plymouth Diving sponsored by Pilkington Estates travelled with a strong squad of 11 divers. \nDay One saw the Group D2 boys open the competition with 12 boys battling it out for the honours. The competition was fierce at the top with the lead changing with every dive but some superb diving from Isaac Ide allowed him to scoop a well-deserved bronze\, his first national level medal. \nNext up was the Group C1 girls\, where hopes were high\, with 3 divers due to compete. Unfortunately\, Poppy Jones had to withdraw from the competition with injury but despite her disappointment she was happy to take up the role of chief cheerleader. Spurred on by some fantastic support Abigail Bishop and Ava Cowper produced some solid diving on all boards against some very talented divers. Abigail finished in 11th place overall\, but it was Ava who produced an outstanding set of dives to take a brilliant silver medal for Plymouth. \nDay Two presented Plymouth with several more chances to claim more medals and started with the Group D1 girls. Once again\, the competition for the podium places was tough but the 3 young Plymouth divers more than held their own. Although a medal wasn’t to be\, the trio walked away with their heads held up high and having gained some valuable experience. Teagan Mousley finishing 12th just behind her teammate Alice Jones in 11th and Isla Applin in 7th. Eva Tsianavas was the only diver competing in the D2 group and dived well throughout but the competition for the top places was intense and she finished 20th overall. \nGroup C1 boys had Kaiwen Dun and Lincoln Stephens diving and they both produced some very consistent diving to finish in 6th and 7th respectively\, only separated by a single point. Having watched his teammates face some tough competition it was finally time for Louie McCue to try and secure a top 3 medal. Despite the excellent opposition he remained calm and composed and produced some outstanding dives to finish in 3rd and walk away with the bronze medal. \nThe divers enjoyed their first ever national competition and were coached by Fito Gutierrez\, Lucy Freeman-Gutierrez and Ebony Colbourne. With Mark Jones gaining valuable experience as a level one judge at his first major competition. \nThe weekend’s success again highlights that the future of diving in Plymouth is looking good and with the ongoing support of Plymouth Active Leisure and Pilkington Estates\, Plymouth Diving is hoping for continued success. \n \n
