Diving clubs around Dublin?

BetterThanThou · 2012-07-09 22:12:15

I'm interested in possibly joining a diving club, I've got a few questions. First of all, obviously, what diving clubs are in the Dublin area? Secondly, do you need to be a good swimmer for a diving club to accept you? I, personally am not a great swimmer, but, I'm good enough to get my way around a pool and not have any…

I, personally am not a great swimmer, but, I'm good enough to get my way around a pool and not have any problems in the deep end. Finally, do you need to be in good physical shape? obviously, if you want to be successful you do, and I'm working on getting in to shape, but right now, I'm probably a little below average in that department, could I still start diving while I work on my fitness?

My bad, by diving, I mean the kind of diving that you do from a platform into a pool.

Thanks, although, if anyone else knows of any other diving clubs, that would be great, as Blanchardstown is rather far from where I live.

We recently done a bit of high board diving with the kids I work with. Not hundred per cent sure about this but think the instructor said that there are only two pools in Dublin with a high board for diving the National Aquatic centre being the main one and then Guinness pool in Dublin 8. This is the pool we used and was great for the kids. It had a one metre spring board and a 3 metre high board, not very high but high enough for them. I'd say your best bet would be to contact these pools and see if there is any clubs accessing these boards and go from there.
