Competitions (Term 4)

Pennant Week #3 (Saturday 25 November 2017 @ Aquanation)

Pennant is a competition series suited to all levels of divers and aims to provide them with competition experience and the opportunity to monitor their progress throughout the season, which runs from July-June.  There are six pennants held over this time period and this is the third for the season 2017/18. 

Each pennant consists of levels 1-10 plus open competition, and each level has different requirements.  Students will need to check with their coach for the appropriate level to enter and the dives they will need to perform.  Entries will close on the Sunday prior to the competition.

The pennant criteria (i.e. levels and dive requirements) can be found on the Diving Victoria website under EVENTS.
