Many of our divers start in Learn to Dive. By establishing core body strength, dedication, focus, strong work ethic and attention to finer points of details in the early days, the Evolution of Divers begin!

FDCD holds an annual Tryout for aspiring athletes in late Spring. It is open to all Learn to Dive registrants and athletes of other disciplines. Divers who show potential will be invited to join our entry level Rising Stars program. The goal of this program is to start with the basic foundation of diving in a relaxed and encouraging environment. As the Athlete progresses up the Competition structure, they will begin to work on dive lists for competition. The focus of the Competitive Team is to develop personal excellence, work ethic and self-esteem. Our goal is to help each diver attain his or her own personal level of success whether it is at the Regional, Provincial, National or International Level. Athletes come from another athletic disciplines may already meet the requirements to join our Rising Stars Program. These disciplines include, but are not limited to Gymnastics, Karate, Dance or Figure Skating. Placement of all new athletes is at the discretion of our Coaching team.
