Because diving is a gymnastics sport where you land in water, Tumblebees Ultimate Gym now offers a diving team!
GYM TRAINING
Diving students begin training in the gym where they can learn 3/4 of a dive, as well as basic and advanced diving techniques and skills, including basic approaches to taking off from the board.
To make their learning as safe as possible, participants will learn through the use of a safety belt on a trampoline and a diving board (into a foam pit or onto a large foam mat), as well as tumbling drills.
POOL TRAINING
After developing fundamental skills in the gym, students in this program then have the opportunity to hone their skills in a pool environment. Participants increase their training at a pool at the new, fully-equipped Greensboro Aquatic Center, where they apply their training off competition springboards and platforms.
