Returning home with a collection of medals, top ten finishes, and personal bests, the club's divers proved their dedication, resilience and skill are second to none.

The competition began under challenging circumstances in the Girls group D and Boys D open event, with technical difficulties preventing the divers from seeing the scores they were receiving. Despite this, Plymouth's young athletes performed with extraordinary focus and composure.

Honor-Grace Kelly led the way with a brilliant fourth-place finish showcasing poise, precision and the ability to perform under pressure. Bethany Hockaday claimed eighth and Charleigh Sharpe narrowly followed in ninth, both displaying clean entries and impressive technique.
