CONROE DIVING
coaching staff
Conroe Diving is all about having fun, competing as a team and excelling in all we do. The club was established in 2000 by Head Coach Bill Travis. He began teaching one meter springboard diving in the pool on the east side of the Aquatic Center. As the club grew and excitement over competitive diving spread, the diving well we now use was built by the City of Conroe, funded by Conroe Diving.
Conroe Diving is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to spread the love of diving to beginners and more experienced divers alike. The club is active in local, state, regional, and national diving competitions. We are proud to host two meets each dive season.
Our diving well includes:
-Two 1 Meter Springboards and Two 3 Meter Springboards
-One 1 Meter Platform and One 5 Meter Platform
We have a program to meet each diver's needs and expertise. To register for lessons, contact coach Bill Travis at 281.795.8661 or email president@conroedivingclub.com
