Activity Book Winner Announced
Published Wed 12 Aug 2020
Congratulations to Jasmin Visser (age 10) from Melbourne Elite Diving Academy (MEDA) for being selected the Victorian winner of the DA Activity Book Challenge. A new initiative this year by DA, Jasmin successfully completed the diving related puzzles and games, and showed us her creative side by designing bathers and a POOL. Best of all she answered all of the quiz questions correctly.
As a gymnast living in the Geelong area, Jasmin developed Severs disease at age 9 creating pain in her heel. Her gym coach thought that she would be good at diving so she had a go with MEDA's Geelong based program coached by Nathan Veal. Luckily it didn't hurt her heel and she's been diving ever since. Her favorite dive is armstand from platform and her goal dives include 203, 105 and double twist. During lock-down Jasmin has stayed fit with online club, gym and DV Zoom sessions, but can't wait to get back up on the platform.
Diving Australia will be refundung Jasmin and her family's 20-21 membership fees as a prize. Thank you @divingaus for this fun contest and congratulations again to Jasmin.
