FT. LAUDERDALE DIVING TEAM

Our facility is currently under construction. However, we are still training. The Fort Lauderdale diving team is currently training at the Coral Springs Aquatic Complex in Coral Springs, FL. The training times are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. Please email or call Coach Dave for the correct times. 


The Fort Lauderdale Diving Team is the premier springboard and platform diving team in Florida. FLDT has placed higher than any team in Florida the past 4 out of 5 years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, & 2021) at the USA Diving Junior National Championships. We also have had at least one diver win the gold in the past 5 out of 6 Junior National Championships. FLDT offers group lessons, private lessons, 3 different levels of our competitive team, and invites visiting divers with USA Diving memberships to come train with us.

Dave Burgering, the Director of Diving and Head Coach, brings with him over 35 years of coaching experience and a coaching and competitive diving resume that is second to none. Dave was a member of the 1980 USA Olympic Diving Team, and the 2008 USA Olympic Team Coaching Staff. Dave has served on the board of directors of USA Diving as Chairman and Vice President, Senior and Junior Diving.

27-METER DIVE TOWER AND OBSERVATION DECK

The City of Fort Lauderdale Commissioners voted to fully fund the 27-meter dive tower and an Observation Deck on July 7th. It will be the first and only high diving tower in the USA and is expected to attract elite divers from around the world. It will be the second such tower with the first one erected in China. The high diving tower in Fort Lauderdale will be the only one of its kind with multiple platforms and additional features.


The platform will be 1,3,5,7 1/2,10,15,20,24 and 27 meters. Along with 3 meter and 1 meter springboards. With all this equipment, the Fort Lauderdale Diving Team can accommodate divers at every level. High school, college, Junior National, senior national, Olympic, and high diving. No other program in the USA can claim that at this time.
