Club History

In January/February 2010 around 1000 local children took part in the ASA England Talent Programme Primary School Talent Search.  After various trials and tests, around 20 children were selected to make up the Corby Diving Talent Squad.

Corby Steel Diving Club was officially formed in October 2010 to enable those children to become competitive divers.

The club name was decided on to reflect the heritage of Corby. The club logo was designed to show someone diving into a representation of the ‘Spirit of Corby’, the famous, steel corkscrew, town centre sculpture from the 1960’s.

CSDC’s first competition was the 2011 England Talent Identification Games in Southend.

Ricardo joined us, from Dublin, in March 2011.
