Diving Clinic

A few weekends back, Kyle and I got up early on a Saturday morning and drove out to Pearland to a diving clinic.

He was in heaven with all the diving, and he got some great coaching.

Here are all the diving kids that were there.

(Kyle is the only boy on the diving board.)

In the afternoon we headed over to a gym that was equipped with all kinds of dry land diving equipment. After a pep talk from to Olympic diving gold medalist, Laura Wilkinson, (and Kyle getting to hold her gold medal from the Sydney Games) they spent about 2 hours in the gym. 

He said their "real" Olympic trampolines are way better than the "fake" Olympic trampolines they have at trampoline parks.

Here he is jumping on the trampoline, and then how that helps him at the pool.

He also spent lots of time on the dry board.

Here he is doing the same dive (a front flip with a twist) on the dry board and at the pool. 

 He still has a way to go....
