Tom Daley launches Diving Academy at Manchester Aquatics Centre
Olympic star Tom Daley has unveiled the Tom Daley Diving Academy at Manchester Aquatic Centre – the first venue to offer the diving school outside of London.
The GLL-operated facility, which is home to a host of elite athletes in training for Rio 2016, will have qualified professional coaches on hand to help pupils master diving techniques.
The new academy follows on from the first Daley diving initiative which is based at the London Aquatics Centre. The partnership between Daley and GLL forms part of efforts to create a lasting diving legacy from the London 2012 Olympic Games.
“GLL recognise the importance of getting more people, more active and more often. Where possible we want this to be by participation in sport – whatever their backgrounds and experience,” said GLL deputy managing director Peter Bundey.
“This is a unique partnership with Tom and is a tremendous boost to getting more people enjoying and developing skills through diving. Having the Tom Daley Diving Academy in the North West’s premier Aquatics venue is fantastic for us and for the growing population of Manchester.”
