Armada Cup

This past 4 days have seen the Albatross Advanced Diving Squad competing in Plymouth with Plymouth Diving hosting their annual Armada Cup open competition. As the Southwest Region’s Age Group Nationals qualification event this was the first opportunity for the team of 6 divers to gain their qualification points for this year’s National Age Group Finals in June.

With qualification scores achieved by Fin, Ariana, Hannah and Naya on 1m and 3m, final podium placings for Fin on all 3 boards and Ariana on 3m and PB’s and valuable competition experience at this level for all divers whether new (Ariana, Thomas and Ellie) or more experienced (Fin, Naya and Hannah), the team are well placed for future qualification events.

Coaches and club are all proud of the team and thank the divers and parents for their support over the 4 day event.

Albatross now look to March with their Skills divers heading to the London Aquatic Centre on 1st March for the first in a series of National Skills qualifiers and then for a team of 14 divers across Skills, Age Groups and Seniors supported by coaches and team managers there is the excitement of the Dubai International Aquatics Championships later in the month.
