Club Diving

With two Olympic Coaches leading the Academy, JDA is a truly unique program that has the best coaching staff in the country.  Drew and Jenny are, “extremely excited to be back coaching at the club level and looking forward to implementing our new long-term Essential Skills Program as the foundation for all of our programming”.      

We believe that it is time for us to combine our knowledge of coaching and years of experience and return back to working with the younger generation of divers here in the local area.  Whether you are looking to try diving for the very first time or already on a path of competition, you will find that JDA will offer you the ability to work hard and have fun, while preparing you for your future, both in and out of the pool.  

Here at Johansen Diving Academy (JDA), we believe that youth sports help open many different doors in one’s life that can help create new possibilities and paths to competing in college, while at the same time, striving for  academic goals that will prepare our student-athletes for their life long dreams after their competition days are done.  

Over the last few decades of coaching, we have noticed the need to create a foundational program for our country that can teach essential diving skills to young athletes, while at the same time keeping them physically and mentally healthy for their long careers throughout college. This essential foundation of skill, combined with ensuring a strong environment of health is the foundation that will help each one of our Student-Athletes reach their personal best!  

We will start the 2026-27 season with an "Introduction to Diving, Talent ID and skill development" program. This program is designed to find the talent within a 50 mile radius of Indiana University, Bloomington. This group is for all ages and will be divided by age and skill in the practice environment. The Introduction to Diving, Talent ID (TID) group will compete locally in skill assessments and demonstrations.

Is there a HS/MS group?

The HS/MS group will be a season offering to open our facilities and make our coaching staff available to help high school and middle school divers through their season, November - February. High School divers are encouraged to join the TID and skill development program to reach their goals of going to the state championships. The TID and skill development program can unlock a HS/MD divers talent and keep the door open for potential diving in college.
