said West Chester Diving coach <strong>Ronn Jenkins.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of the 33 divers at WCD&#8217;s event in Connecticut, only 3 were from their team. They had so many new divers, the club called in additional coaches for assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the junior athletes in attendance were local, and speaking to their parents, Coach Jenkins found that many of them never knew that diving was an accessible sport for their children, or that programs like WCD existed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People are afraid sometimes,&#8221; said<strong>\u00a0Krista Klein<\/strong>, GC Divers&#8217; head coach. &#8220;Now they have a different perspective on what diving is. It changed people&#8217;s perspective on the sport.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>22 new divers attended GC&#8217;s event in Texas. Some of those new divers have never gone into the pool head first, one young athlete even had to quit swimming due to her fear of diving. By the end of the session, the girl&#8217;s overjoyed mother was watching her dive right in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve ever been aware of this kind of event,&#8221; said Coach Klein. &#8220;It&#8217;s a great idea to let people know that this sport is out there. We had our elite divers training at the same time, so it was great for them to see that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Klein hopes to introduce new athletes to diving, and that USA Diving continues to host this event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Erin Keaveny, Swimming World Contributor.\u00a0 USA Diving hosted National Learn to Dive Day with 21 participating club teams across the country, introducing junior athletes to diving, on Saturday, October<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3481,"featured_media":104220,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13,1],"tags":[57595,71743,71742,71659,71660,71741,27472,71744],"class_list":["post-334135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diving","category-uncategorized","tag-erin-keaveny","tag-gc-divers","tag-krista-klein","tag-learn-to-dive-day","tag-national-learn-to-dive-day","tag-ronn-jenkins","tag-usa-diving","tag-west-chester-diving"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
