Training Camp has been a fabulous experience to meet new people, learn new skills and dives and have great fun! The food was well prepared and yum and I really enjoyed going to the gym. I thought the schedule was well set out and I think I got a good amount out of this camp. As well as learning new dives, I also gained a lot of confidence and positive thoughts to help me with my diving. I really loved having a billet girl, Hannah, around so I learned about what she has achieved and enjoyed. Although I didn't get to stay for the excursion, on a nice holiday to Malaysia, I thought the camp, over all, was FANTASTIC! I certainly will do it again. Mia Ingram

I loved going to gymnastics and I loved the field trips. The camp was a great experience to learn new things and meet new people. I loved the way the coached taught me to do my somersault. The food was nice but not as healthy as you would think. Its true... It was great to learn lots of new things and I am so glad that I did it. Jade Horn.

Hi Carolyn. Just a short note to thank you and Ringwood Diving for a great job. Tayla has had a wonderful time and had so many good stories to tell. Thankyou to you for looking after Tayla (the fussy eater), she assured me she didnt starve. Thanks again for providing a wonderful environment and I will certainly send Tayla again next year.
Once again, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

Hi Carolyn. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on camp. I was kindly welcomed by the coaches, divers, my billet family and the helpers. The camp was fun, but challenging, I now understand more about eating healthily, setting goals and thinking positively. Although the early mornings won’t so fun, I had a great time training and was able to improve so much thanks to Christian, Dan, Matt and Rhiannon. I enjoyed making heaps of new friends, this was a great experience and I can’t wait till next time. Thank you all so much. Caitlin Taylor

Hello Carolyn i really enjoyed evrything especially th trampoine into the foam pit, diving with the harness, meeting and making lots of new friends and the visit to the aquarium was terrific. Thankyou to all the coaches for helping me improve last week. Hope to see you next year. from freddie.

Hi Carolyn. Just a quick note to thank you for organizing the training camp and letting Hannah stay with you for a couple of nights. We were a bit worried how she would cope on her own with her billet family but felt it would be a good experience for her. She was very excited each night I rang and hasn’t stopped talking since she got home. The camp was a great experience and she thoroughly enjoyed it.
Kind Regards
