a vision for Boardworks was born.
That vision was to turn Victoria's youth into
international champions. Currently ranked the #2
diving club in Canada, that vision is becoming a reality.
Boardworks divers have now achieved championship or
medal-winning performances at almost every level of
competition and this year, Boardworks own Riley McCormick,

Olympic Games in Beijing, China. To achieve
the goal of turning Victoria's youth into international
diving champions, Boardworks provides children with an opportunity
to learn and train in an environment that is both
challenging and focused as well as fun and rewarding.
From entry level programs like OlympicGarten through to
Olympic and World Championship-level athletes, Boardworks'
coaching staff is dedicated to providing the very best
programs and training environment in order to meet the needs
and goals of every athlete.
