Four Basic Keys
to Doing Excellent Dives
Body Alignment
Board work and takeoffs
Initiating and Stopping Rotation
Entries and Lineups
Our camp is a teaching camp. Using videos, lectures and discussion we show
how elite and Olympic level divers use the Four Basic
Keys as they perform in meets.
Divers will learn how to apply these same keys to
their diving under the direction of their group coach
through daily work on the diving boards and while
learning dryland drills and perfecting entries.
Each diver has their dives video taped and
critiqued by one of our coaches each session. We will
try and focus on strengthen each divers new dives built
over this time
“By the time a diver leaves the board on any
takeoff, the height of the dive, the distance from the
board and the amount of somersault rotation is already
determined.”
Ron O’Brien, USA Olympic Diving Coach
