Build Self Esteem in Your Child

It's Better to Build Boys than
Mend Men

"Life is not summer camp, and we are not counselors. A child with one less buddy and one more adult willing to help establish appropriate values by setting limits through discipline may be changed forever."


Brandon Dive Camp

The Brandon Sports and Aquatic Center began hosting the Kimball Diving Camp in 1967 under the direction of Olympic diving coach Dick Kimball. Since that time, divers of all ages and abilities have made Brandon their summer home.

Following in this tradition, the Brandon Diving Camp was founded in 1989 by Joe and Pat Greenwell. Through their collective experiences as both elite athletes and world-class coaches, a highly successful training camp has been created. In addition to the solid base of coaching experience, the use of innovative techniques such as video taping of training sessions using TIVO, and utilizing gymnasium facilities for improved physical conditioning have been added to the format, creating a well-rounded approach to diving.

The ability to communicate with divers of varying abilities and skills is paramount at the Brandon Diving Camp. Furthermore, the coaching staff is dedicated to the camp's tradition of promoting the training and work ethic necessary to give divers a strong foundation upon which to build their diving careers in a fun environment.

At our Diving Camp we want you to accomplish your goals as an individual and a diver. We guarantee that you will go home armed with new and improved skills, dives and will be stronger physically and mentally on and off the board.

The Spotting Makes the Difference
Joe Greenwell is noted to be one of the top spotters in the nation. Don't like belts, get jerked around when you are in the belts? We dare you to compare our spotting and dry-land area. Learn that 305c with no problem! Get those twisters down tight and we will get you to stop pulling on those 205c's!

Housing
Divers are housed in the homes of club members and their friends. The housing family provides breakfast and dinner and the club provides lunch. A list of hotels is available to coaches and parents who wish to attend any of the sessions. Please write or call for details.
