“The Whirlwind Diving program has over 200 athletes from the beginner to the elite level. We welcome new divers in every age group and at every level. Our goal is to help each and every participant develop proper mechanics, have fun, and meet their personal goals–whether they are novice, recreational, or Junior Olympic athletes. Led by a highly experienced coaching staff.
Our Junior Olympic (JO) team competes nationally and has won 14 YMCA National Titles. Boasting the camaraderie and support of a team, divers have tremendous opportunity to grow within the sport and reach their goals by competing at the local, regional, and national levels. Levels are by coaches’ invitation.
