Schedule of Club Diving Meets 2023 (2024-25 soon!)

SPRINGBOARD and PLATFORM
DIVING: Lessons, Classes, and Teams

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CDA operates customized diving camps in our amazing dryland center and pool facilities.  These customized programs may include both group and private sessions and vary from 1-day to 1-week variable schedules.  Space will be limited.  If you are interested, please fill-out our "Contact-Us" form CLICK-HERE and let us know about your interest and some details of your diver (no experience necessary).

AWAY / OVERNIGHT CAMPS ~ 

Since 2014 the California Diving Academy has been providing various City Summer (beginner) Learn-to-Dive classes.  In Summer of 2023 we will continue this tradition and again offer several sessions each of our 1-hour and 3-hour water-only classes.  Space is limited.  If you are interested in these City sessions, please fill-out our "Contact-Us" form CLICK-HERE and let us know about your interest and some details of your diver (no experience necessary).  If you would like to include training in our amazing dryland facility, please consider joining the club and our "Try-it-Out" (TIO) program.  Alternately, CDA would be happy to customize a diving camp just for you (see below).

CDA-RUN CITY DIVING SESSIONS and CAMPS ~ 

Every year the California Diving Academy selects away/overnight diving camp(s) to attend as a club.  These camps offer 3-5-days of intense dryland and water training.  A CDA coach attends the camps to support of our divers of all skill levels.  For those divers interested in a college athletic experience, there are typically a number of college coaches attending and/or coaching these camps and to preview future prospects.

For those new to diving, these camps are a good way to get a serious jump-start on the next level of their diving repertoire (including 1m, 3m, and tower training).  We hope all interested CDA divers will talk to your coach about attending.  The announcement with camp details will be made before the end of January so you will have time to schedule and prepare.

In our 9th season of attending these away diving camp CDA has taken more than 30 divers to camp - feedback from these week-long training/exposure trips is "it was a great experience, I met divers from all over the country, and want to do it again next year ~ coach Eric made sure we worked our plan!"

For Summer 2023 our 5-day away camp dates are 01-06jul23.  Clear your schedule and join us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are confirmed meets and approximate date placeholders for those that might happen in the 2023 season.  All of the "Local" meets are on CDA's radar as "events of interest."  The AAU-RWB, AAU RWB National, AAU National, as well as all of the USAD  events (Region, Zone, and National) meets are our top priorities.  In addition, we are considering an International trip in 2024.

In the interim, if you have interest in attending a particular meet CLICK HERE to let us know how we may be of service.

For High School and all CDA divers we will discuss with you separately any additional meets or camps that you should consider.
