SUMMARY:Junior European Championship
DESCRIPTION:Just over a week ago a fourteen strong team of divers left the UK for Rzeszów in Poland to compete in the Junior European Diving Championships. The week long competition concluded on Sunday. Amelie Underwood from Plymouth Diving went eagerly with the ambition to improve on last year’s performance when she qualified for both springboard finals – just missing out on medals. The opening event this year was the Mixed Team Event. Alongside Amelie was Hannah Newbrook\, Noah Penman and Robbie Wood all from other clubs across the UK. The team worked well together to finish comfortably in third position to win the bronze medal. \nNext up for Amelie was the 3m synchro with fellow athlete Caitlyn Coster from Dive London Aquatics Club. Already a proven successful pairing at the British Junior Elite Championships in April\, it was no surprise that they added another bronze medal to their collection. The key to their success was a consistent set of scores against 9 other duos. \nThe final day saw Amelie compete in the group A 3m individual event. Finishing in ninth place out of twenty-one secured a spot in the final. Going into the final Amelie had her work cut out. With the points carried over from her first five dives in the preliminary round\, Amelie found herself starting at the bottom in twelfth position. Divers spend hours of training perfecting required dives to try and ensure a good starting position in the final. Against competitors of this calibre\, it left Amelie little hope of a medal. Knowing this did not affect Amelie’s fighting spirit and she put in a valiant effort to finish ninth overall. Amy Wright from City of Leeds Diving Club finished one position higher in eighth. \nAmelie is coached by Sally Freeman and it is a testament to her coaching ability that Amelie improved on last year’s performance to win two bronze medals. Ongoing training is supported by Pilkington Estates\, the Plymouth Active Leisure Diving Programme coupled with the superb facilities on offer at the Plymouth Life Centre for which Plymouth Diving would like to express their gratitude. \n

SUMMARY:National Skills Finals 2024
DESCRIPTION:19 of Plymouth Diving’s youngest members of the club made their way to Southend to part take in their National Finals. Accompanied by coaches Tommy Davis\, Lucy Gutierrez-Freeman and Jaime Conn they youngsters made the long journey hoping to emulate the success of their elder club mates from the previous weeks Finals. \nAlarms were set very early for many of the Plymouth divers on the Saturday as the first session of the Finals featured 14 of the club’s divers against the rest of Britian’s diving clubs. In front of a large crowd Plymouth Diving had 5 representatives in the D1 category which got the finals underway. The girls who are aged 9 and 10 looked composed throughout the competition with all 5 of them finishing in the top 15\, with Myia Lilley finishing highest out of the Plymouth divers with a remarkable 4th placed finishing 4 points off a podium place. Top 10 finishes for Stephanie Clarke who finished in 7th place and Phoebe-May Evans one place behind her teammate in 8th position. Rounding of the top 15 results was Lyra Johnson who finished in 12th place and Honor-Grace Kelly cementing a top 15 place by finishing in 14th place. \nNext off the diving boards was the E girls and this just like the first category Plymouth was well represented in it. The 6 Plymouth divers who aged 9 and under showed no signs of nerves in front of the judges and crowd\, producing a fantastic display of diving. Plymouth had reason to cheer when the results had been finalised with Lacey-Mae Hocking and Ivy-May Davey both finding themselves in the top 10 with superb 4th and 6th place finishes respectively. Making it inside the top 15 of this very tough group was two of the youngest members of the squad in Olivia Birkett who placed very well in 14th position and Aria Cole making up the top 15 with her 15th place. Bethany Hocking came up just short of the top 15 in 16th place and Katie-Rose Wilkinson finished in 22nd position but gained a vast amount of competition experience just by making it to her 1st final. \nRounding off the Saturday morning session was the D2 girls. Once again\, the standard of diving was extremely high with many divers in contention of medalling but unfortunately Plymouth Diving didn’t quite get to the medals this time\, but were celebrating two more girls finishing inside the top 10 as Emily Williams dived herself into 6th place and Ivy Dart competing for the last time before her families move to Australia finished in 9th position. Also finishing in the top half of the category was Imogen-Rose Hocking who put in a determine diving display considering the week before competition found herself on crutches due to injury\, only deciding to compete the morning of the final’s finished in 15th place and Aneya Burton one place behind her in 16th but gained more valuable experience in her first season of competing for Plymouth. \nOnce the morning session had finished\, it was the turn of C1 girls to get the afternoon session started. Three Plymouth divers were involved in this category\, and it was a very tight affair for the podiums again which did feature one Plymouth Diver in Rae Mossford who got on the podium curtesy of her skills of the 3m board. Close behind Rae and narrowly missing out on the medals in 4th place was Margot Elliot who once again provided great consistency in all her dives. Final diver of the Plymouth trio was Lottie Tucker who got into the Top 20 in 20th position. \nPlymouth Diving’s interest was due to end in morning session on the final day in this year’s National Finals with the final two competitors taking to the boards in D1 open. Theo Todd and Bobby Cole attending their first National Finals dived with great confidence throughout with Theo Todd ending the competition on top of the podium taking the gold medal and Bobby Cole narrowly missing out on the podium place having to settle for 5th position. \nPlymouth Diving would like to take the opportunity to thank sponsor Pilkington Estate for the ongoing support and Plymouth Active for the continued use of the excellent facilities which is allowing youngsters to flourish in diving. Huge thanks go to the coaches who without them\, divers wouldn’t be able to excel and to Joel Trenchard for his expertise in judging. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Roma Junior Diving Cup
DESCRIPTION:PLYMOUTH DIVERS SHINE IN ROME \nThe Roma Junior Diving Cup 2024 was a highly anticipated event\, marking Plymouth Diving’s first international competition as a club since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. For all but one of the divers\, this was their first experience competing abroad in an outdoor pool. Competing in Italy’s capital\, the divers faced the challenge of performing in the Olympic pool with temperatures soaring above 35 degrees Celsius. Despite these conditions\, the team not only gained valuable competitive experience but also strengthened their bonds\, creating a supportive and encouraging environment. \nCoach Fito Gutierrez\, whose dedication to the team is unparalleled\, played a crucial role in this endeavour. He enabled the team to participate by taking his annual leave\, showcasing his commitment to the divers. “It was a must; they deserved this opportunity. They all had a fantastic time\, and I am so proud of them\, and the many friendships they have made. I am glad we made this happen” said Fito following the competition. \nThe team\, in turn\, had embarked on a huge fundraising campaign which was testament to the teams determination itself\, receiving support from local businesses such as Vista Flooring\, Doorcare South West\, TEC Construction\, Trade Choice South West\, Beaumont DryLining\, KW Chartered Surveyors & Building Surveyors\, as well as generous support from family and friends and donations from bag packing at Morrisons on Outland road. This collective effort made the trip possible and highlighted the community’s support for the young athletes. \nIsla Applin\, the only C group girl from Plymouth\, kicked off the competition for the club on the 3m springboard. Isla started strong and maintained her performance against a formidable field\, finishing in sixth place. Putting the morning’s dives aside\, she had to compete again in the afternoon on the platform where she was just off medal position in fourth place but a great PB. She showcased her versatility and resilience\, concluding her events on the 1m the following day with another close fourth place. \nNoah Underwood was next up as the sole male competitor in the B boys category. Demonstrating impressive skill and determination throughout his events\, Noah was agonizingly close to a medal on the 3m board\, just a point and a half shy. However\, the following day was fruitful as Noah stood on the podium with a bronze medal\, including a great 2.5 somersault pike on the 1m board. \nLexi Davies and Evie Royal made up the B girls divers. Lexi began her competition on the platform\, with a silver medal after a strong set up dives. Having secured her first medal\, Lexi followed this with another medal\, this time a bronze on the 1m board and a fifth position on 3m. Teammate Evie also competed on both the 1m and 3m demonstrating lovely dives and strong finishes with a PB on both. \nThe largest contingent Plymouth sent was for the A girls\, where we saw significant successes with some fantastic dives from all six divers. Amelie Underwood claimed gold medals on both the 1m and 3m boards. Joining her on the podium on the 3m board was Katie Martin\, who won the bronze medal. The following day saw Scarlett Colbourne also take home a bronze medal on the 1m. Rose McCabe\, Maia Pearson\, and Ellie Pearce also competed valiantly\, but with a strong field and limited medals\, they were unable to stand beside their teammates on the podium. \nThe final event of the competition was the synchro event\, where Plymouth entered three pairs. Recent National Age Group champions Lexi and Rose improved their personal bests in 8th place while Katie and Maia having won the Junior Elites Championships earlier in the year\, continued their gold streak\, claiming another first place. The new pairing of Amelie and Scarlett secured the silver medal. \nThe Roma Junior Diving Cup saw participation from countries including the USA\, Italy\, Monaco\, Germany\, and Hungary. This international exposure was invaluable\, as divers exchanged T-shirts\, won medals\, and forged friendships with peers from around the world. \nThe team returned home with a renewed sense of motivation and camaraderie\, eager to apply their experiences from Rome to the upcoming season. The competition not only tested their skills but also reinforced the importance of teamwork and community support. \nPlymouth Diving Club extends heartfelt gratitude to Fito\, supporters\, local businesses\, family\, and friends who contributed to making this experience possible. Their unwavering support has been instrumental in the team’s accomplishments and growth.
