State pride will be on full display this April as divers from across Australia take to the boards for the 2026 Australian Age Diving Championships at the South Australia Aquatic & Leisure Centre.

Running from Wednesday 15 April through to Sunday 19 April, the national event will bring together athletes ranging from some of the sport’s youngest competitors at ten-year’s-old to seasoned divers aged 65 and over. It’s a rare celebration of the full diving pathway, showcasing emerging talent alongside experienced athletes in one unforgettable week of competition.

Following the opening ceremony, the State Team Challenge will kick off the competition on Wednesday, launching a packed schedule of events across multiple disciplines. Athletes will compete in both individual events and the fan favourite synchronised events where precision, timing, and trust between diving partners are put to the ultimate test.

But beyond the scores and standings, the championships are just as much about the moments in between. For many athletes, this event is a chance to reconnect with friends from across the country, build new friendships, and share in the unique camaraderie that defines the diving community. From cheering poolside to celebrating personal bests, the week is filled with laughter, support, and memories that last well beyond the final dive.

The championships will culminate in the Annual Age Awards Dinner on Sunday evening, recognising the outstanding achievements of athletes, coaches, and clubs across the country.

From the highly anticipated Diver of the Year awards, spanning age groups from under 11 through to 25+, to honours such as Coach of the Year and Club of the Year, the evening celebrates not only podium performances but the dedication, sportsmanship, and community spirit that make the sport so special.

Fans and supporters can find everything they need to know—including schedules, event details, and updates—via the official event page.

To mark the occasion, exclusive event merchandise is also available, giving athletes and supporters the chance to take home a lasting memento of the championships. From apparel to keepsakes, the range celebrates the spirit of the event both in and out of the pool.

Fans can stay across every moment with updated schedules and live results available via Dive Recorder throughout the competition. https://diverecorder.co.uk
