DA divers ready to shine at British Elites

Published Mon 07 Apr 2025

Six of the Nation’s brightest up and coming diving stars are preparing to take on the world at the 2025 Aquatics GB Junior Elite Diving Championships.

The event is the first major junior international event of the 2025 calendar, with competitors from across the globe set to descend on the Plymouth Life Centre from April 10-13. 

Diving Australia’s General Manager Suzie Collins said this event will provide the Australian athletes with the experience and skill set required to compete on the international stage. 

“I'm really looking forward to seeing this team in action in the UK,” said Suzie. “With a great mix of seasoned competitors and emerging talents, this international event will be a fantastic experience for everyone.

“It offers vital exposure to the realities of international competition - from managing long-haul travel and jet lag to developing recovery strategies, all while testing themselves against new competitors and adapting to training in new environments.  

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for these divers to not only showcase their talent in the pool, but also gain invaluable lessons that will fuel future success”.

After arriving last week the team spent had the opportunity to train at at the London Aquatic Centre, the home of the 2012 Olympic diving events, as well as the Southend Leisure and Tennis Centre, the venue used by the venue the Australian Diving Paris 2024 team used for their pre camp.

The divers will now travel to Plymouth for additional training before the four day meet gets underway on Thursday April 10 local time.
