Irish Open Diving Championships
8-10th November - Dublin
Three divers flew over to Ireland to compete in this year's competition held at Dublin's National Aquatic Centre; two masters and an age group diver. Due to the crossover of events with all divers competing at the same time in some instances, another Dacorum coach, Simon Shaw flew over to assist.
Competing with divers from Southern Ireland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Lithuania and the USA, made this an exciting and fun event; the hosts' Shamrock Diving Club, and Swim Ireland made everyone feel welcome, and made it a memorable experience with many friends made.
All three divers came away with a medal from every competition they entered, including guesting in two higher level competitions.

This was a great meet for all involved, with many friends made, and a great result for Dacorum's divers who found getting through Customs at Dublin Airport interesting.
