It was medals all-round for Reading’s Albatross Divers at the SE Regional Age Group Diving Championships held in Southampton. Jack Livingstone Smith (boys C) and James West (boys D) scooped Gold on all three boards whilst Ethan Jones won a well-deserved Silver medal in the boy’s C platform. 
Finlay Cook won Silver (boys B) after a stand-out personal best performance on the 3m springboard. Charlotte West also shone on 3m where she won Silver (girls B). In the girls A events Celie Mullen won Silver on 3m and 1m while team mate Amy Watts took Silver on platform and Bronze on both springboards.
Team Albatross took twelve divers to these championships; a key qualification event ahead of the National Finals in Sheffield. Most divers achieved National qualification scores. Several divers successfully performed newly learnt dives which, alongside the overall impressive Regional results, mean Albatross is well placed for National success at the end of May.
Regional Team – Amy Watts, Celie Mullen (A), Charlotte West, Billy Minns, Ollie Breach, Edward Beal, Finlay Cook (B), Jack Livingstone-Smith, Ethan Jones (C), Sophie Bailey, James West and Quinn Shaw (D).
