Dominic moves into coaching

Jo Harford + Lisa Fortes —

We have witnessed the diving success of Dominic Fortes for several years now. However, his latest achievement was for his skills as a coach where he is gaining national recognition as a leader in this sport. He just keeps getting better!

Dom has been coaching and judging as part of the Diving Otakou team for over two years. He has his Level 1 Coaching qualification and is working towards Level 2. He coaches for six and a half hours each week, week nights and Saturdays, training a range of grades including New Zealand Representative Divers, of which he is also one. 

He has coached and judged at National Competitions, and at the Diving New Zealand National Championships in Auckland last weekend was awarded the Dick Lamb Memorial Trophy as Junior Diving Coach of the Year.
