CAMP HISTORY

The Brandon Swim and Tennis Club began hosting the Kimball Diving Camp in 1967 under the direction of Olympic diving coach Dick Kimball.  Since that time, divers of all ages and abilities have made Brandon their summer home.

Following in this tradition, the Brandon Diving Camp was founded in 1989 by Joe and Patt Greenwell.  Through their collective experiences as both elite athletes and world-class coaches, a highly successful training camp has been created.  In addition to the solid base of coaching experience, the use of innovative techniques such as video taping of training sessions and utilizing gymnasium facilities for improved physical conditioning have been added to the format, creating a well-rounded approach to diving.

The ability to communicate with divers of varying abilities and skills is paramount at the Brandon Diving Camp.  Furthermore, the coaching staff is dedicated to the camp’s tradition of promoting the training and work ethic necessary to give dives a strong foundation upon which to build their diving careers in a fun environment. more

For over 26 years, national, international and Olympic divers have come from around the world to spend their summers training in Brandon, Florida. Just 20 minutes from some of the world best beaches Things to do in the area the Ice Palace The Pier Florida Aquarium Attractions for Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg


THE SPOTTING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

We dare you to compare our spotting and dryland area. Learn that 305c with no problem! Get those twisters down tight and we will get you to stop pulling on those 205c's!
