About RMDC
RECREATION & FUN!

Rocky Mountain Diving Club (RMDC) offers recreational Learn-to-Dive, pre-competitive programs for all ages. Our goal is to provide quality technical springboard and platform diving instruction at the introductory level in a safe, controlled, and fun environment. We incorporate trampoline and dry board training, as well as dry land strength and flexibility conditioning into all lessons.
FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT Participants begin developing skills on one and three metre springboards and progress to three and five metre platforms as skills improve. RMDC emphasizes the importance of physical conditioning and correct basic fundamental diving skills as a base for progression in the sport. Our coaches are nationally (NCCP) or internationally certified instructors with experience in coaching and diving.
WORLD CLASS DIVING FACILITY Rocky Mountain Diving Club programs have been conducted at Talisman Centre, a world-class public sports facility, home to many of Calgary's elite athletic teams. This facility features a 15 foot deep diving tank with four one metre and two three metre springboards as well as three, five, seven and ten metre platforms. RMDC features a one metre dry board with surrounding pit mats, gymnastic trampoline with safety rig and spotting belts, mirrors, exercise stations and bubble machine (to soften new dive entries). The dry land equipment allows divers to learn new dives in safety harnesses before attempting them on the diving boards.

However, Talisman is repairing their roof in 2010. RMDC classes will be moving to Shouldice Pool and SAIT, 2 accessible pools that have 1 metre and 3 metre boards. Our NCCP certified coaches will continue to offer the same great coaching that we have always had.
TALENT ID PROGRAM

Rocky Mountain Diving Club is also a novice talent identification program for Dive Calgary, Calgary's only competitive diving club. Rocky Mountain Diving Club participants who exhibit diving talent, a strong work ethic, and a positive attitude will be invited for evaluation with  Dive Calgary. Evaluations are ongoing through out the year.
