Dreams are best pursued by diving in head first!
TRAINING.
SPRINGBOARD DIVING -- 1 & 3 Meter
Our Springboard Diving training takes a different approach than most dive clubs. We believe that having many skill levels, and ages in one practice allows for divers to progress at their own pace.
The one size fits all approach can leave some of the best athletes on the deck. The way we implement our training allows older and younger divers to learn from each other and be themselves.
DRYLAND TRAINING
Your body is what controls everything in your dives. In order to really achieve your goals depends on the work you do in and out of the water.
We start each practice with a dryland routine on the deck of the dive well. We also encourage divers to do at home workouts to strengthen your body, and visualization to set your mind up for success.
TRAMPOLINE BELT TRAINING
Belt training is the best way to get the feel of the flip you need for the dives you are struggling with. (Mainly Reverses)
We have a crew of skilled coaches who are ready to work with all of our athletes. This helps you fine tune those commands they call out in the air and hope to remember later.
SAGEBRUSH TRAINING
Kevin Sage is one of our dearest friends, and mentors us in coaching. He has helps A LOT of very successful divers in his many years coaching, and we are so blessed he mentors us in everything diving.
He is pairing up with us to coach 3 meter practices and help a whole new bunch of divers to be successful people, athletes, and coaches.
You are never too old to learn from those around you.

Genny Colby, CO
When my daughter decided to make a sports change to springboard diving, from the very first contact Mountain Hart Dive Club made us feel welcome.
You get an amazing coach with years of experience both as a coach and as a diver. You get Coach Travis who cares about each diver and coaches them as individuals, not a group. Samantha, the club administrator answers questions quickly and with a personal touch. She is quick to respond to inquiries and takes any concerns seriously.
If your child just wants to learn to dive or wants to compete in High School/Club events, they all get treated with respect and dignity. They are training their divers not only to be amazing athletes, but to be amazing human beings. When you join, you become family.
