The Lil Rippers Holiday Diving Program at MSAC in Albert Park, will run select weekdays throughout the January school holidays. This developmental program is geared toward beginner and intermediate divers ages 8-15 (6-7 year olds with special permission only).  There is no previous diving experience necessary.  Children must be confident in deep water as the coaches do not get in with them.  This is a rare chance for divers to have access to the 3 metre boards and platforms. 

Due to COVID restrictions and facility usage changes, there will only be one offering per day from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm.  Divers will start in our dryland area on the second level of the indoor competition pool (in the spectator seating area).  Coaches will lead the divers in warm-up & conditioning exercises plus trampoline and dryboard work. They will take a short break for a snack.  They will then proceed to the water. 

Example daily schedule:

9:30 - 9:35	Arrive and check-in
9:35 - 9:40	Introductions and rules
9:40-10:45	Dryland (for example: warm-up exercises, conditioning exercises, stretching, diving related drills and core work, trampoline and dryboard work, games and obstacles)
10:45-11:00	Break and small snack (snack not provided)
11:00-12:30	Water activities in the dive pool (side, boom, springboards, platforms)
12:30-12:40	Pick-up

Divers may pick and chose any number and combination of days that suit your schedule.
