In Reply to: Gymnastics Coach needs diving help posted by Irene on June 27, 2000 at 09:22:36:
: I am a gymnastics coach with 17 years experience, but very new to diving. I am looking for some information on diving fundamentals, drills, competition rules, etc.. Does anyone know of web sites or publications that would help me?
You might want to call some of the diving summer camp directors and see if any will take you on for a week or two as an apprentice. I was speaking with one of the major camp's coaches about that possibility and it sounded like a good way to learn, especially if you have some prior coaching experience. The transition between gymnastics and diving is not as huge as you might think.
Good luck! Email me if you want more info on the coach I was speaking with.
