2013 WINTER DIVING PROGRAMS ALMOST FULL

Hello Divers!

Just a quick note to let you know that most classes for the 2013 Winter Session of diving are now full.  Our 2012 Fall classes were completely sold out and it looks as though the Winter Session is following suit.

There are limited spaces available in the following classes:

Beginners Saturdays 9-10 am, 10-11 am and 11-12 noon (as additional classes were added at these times)

ABC Classes

The Winter Session of diving begins Monday, January 7, 2013.  Classes run for 1-hour, once or twice a week for 10 weeks.

Please email revolutiondiving@gmail.com to register for classes, for more information on diving lessons or to place yourself on our waiting list for other class times.

2012 FALL BEGINNER PROGRAMS FULL

Thank you for your interest in diving with Revolution Diving!  Diving always gets a great response in Olympic years, after everyone watches our Canadian divers put in their usual unbelievable performances on the world stage… and at this point all of our Fall Beginner classes are FULL.  We have added additional classes to meet demands, and they are now also FULL.

If you would like to get on our waiting list, please email revolutiondiving@gmail.com and provide your name and contacts, your child’s name and year of birth, and your choice of class time(s).  We will contact you if something becomes available for the Fall Session.

The Winter Session of diving begins in January 7, 2013.  Registration information will be distributed to the waiting list before it is published for the general public.

Diving Trial Week for Gymnasts in Winnipeg

Good news for competitive level gymnasts who have an interest in the sport of diving, but are unsure of what to do about it!  Diving is a great carry-over sport for gymnasts who would like to try something new, and would like to put their acrobatic skills to use!  We are offering a free TRIAL WEEK for gymnasts who would like to experiment with some diving and find out is a good fit for them.

This opportunity is only available to gymnasts who have competed in Provincial or National stream competitions and who are 11 years and older.

This trial will be coached by Kristin Davies, a former competitive gymnast who became one of Canada’s top platform divers and was the 2009 NCAA 10-metre Diving Champion.  She is now a trained coach, and is looking forward to introducing you to diving and answering any questions you may have along the way.

The trial week takes place SEPTEMBER 10-14, and gymnasts can attend up to 4 diving days  that week.  We recommend attending at least two days, and three or all four would be even better.  Options are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and/or Friday from 5-8 pm.  The camp takes place at Cindy Klassen Recreation Complex (999 Sargent), as our regular home at Pan Am Pool is closed for the month for maintenance and upgrades.

Please contact us at revolutiondiving@gmail.com and with your: name, age, date of birth, gymnastics background and current interests in diving.

You may have seen Canada’s top-level divers post some great performances at the Olympics this summer, including two medals in Women’s Synchronized Diving.  Canada is ranked 2nd in the world after the 2012 World Cup in February (after China, and tied with Russia).  This is an exciting sport with lots of opportunity.  Come join in the fun!
