My 2 boys are interested in diving.Both are club swimmers and they also do gymnastics at a low competitive level.They have done a basic holiday dive course which they loved.
There isn't a diving club near us but if they were really into it I could drive them to the next city.
Is there an optimal age to start? I was thinking once the swimming training becomes unsustainable ( 8 year old already has 4 sessions per week) I might gently encourage diving instead but it would be a big family commitment.I think they would be good at it as it combines 2 things they already do well but I really don't know much about the time commitment,ideal age to start etc. They like competing in anything so imagine they would want to do competitions if they took up diving.Can anyone give me any info about experiences of their children diving ?
