Diving coaches in South Africa?
Question
I've recently become interested in diving, I'm 14 years old, I can swim fairly well, and I've done ballet for about 7 months.
I would love to start swimming, but I can seem to find any diving coaches in Cape Town. I have found a pool that has springboard equipment and a 5m platform, but I cannot find any information about coaches

You need to contact the National Swimming Federation for RSA. Go to this website:
www.fina.org (This is the international governing body for all aquatic sports).
Click on 'Structure' and then look down the left hand side of the page and click on
'National Federations'. Next, click on 'Africa' and then look for 'RSA' on page 2. Click on your country's name and it will take you to a page with the name of someone you can ask questions about finding diving coaches in your area. It may be hard to find someone as your country is not known for having many competitive diving teams and events. and therefore not many coaches.
Good luck. I hope you find someone who can teach you to dive.
