2.Competitive Programme
Divers
who have completed the Learn-to-Dive programme move on to the competitive
programme to learn advanced skills for future competitive diving.
As competitive diving is the
primary goal, and there is a focus on building core strength, flexibility and
motor skill movements. This program is more structured and advanced than the
LTD programme.
Basic skills are taught in
great detail, with the coaches drilling the basics over and over until the
desired movement is accomplished in the skill. Much emphasis is on Dryland
training, building the proper motor skills, core, stability and strength
necessary to move properly in the air and water. Further skill advancement is
attempted only when a level of competency is attained in basic movements.
