We are pleased to announce Sandwell Diving Club as the winner of the Swim England West Midlands Diving Club of the Year Award 2024.
With the programme commencing in September 2023, Sandwell Diving Club has gone from strength to strength in such a short amount of time. Becoming the only diving club in the West Midlands, we are really proud to be able to put them forward for the National Awards for the first time.
“This club has been heartbeat of the community in such a short time of existence.”
“The coaches, divers, and Parents/guardians works as a team. Lots of smiles and words of encouragement can be seen/heard in the stands.
The club is building a force of volunteers who recently helped with successful completion of first in house competition.“
“The development programme[s] are well planned and executed. The coaches work very hard to deliver world class coaching.”
“The coaches have done incredible job in bringing the divers and families together to bring the family feel to this club.“
The Club has also had a huge amount of success at Regional and National level, including a recent National Champion at the Swim England Skills Final.

My daughters confidence has grown significantly since joining the club. Her views, goals and welfare has been at the centre of her training and competitions in a nurturing but positively challenging way…”
My son has been welcomed into the diving community and is absolutely loving every minute of it. My son has achieved so much in the time there and it is great to see this in person. As a parent I have been welcomed into the diving community and have since helped out at one of the events and find it a friendly family loving community, it has made me want to become more involved.”
“We are excited as Sandwell is now a sustainable club with the commitment from Nigel, Dan, the committee, parents, divers and volunteers everyone is working together to create a new vivacious club that will continue for many years to come.“
Well done Sandwell Diving Club!
