I have known many kids and met Olympic athletes who were former divers with Wingfield like David Boudia, Steele Johnson, Mary-Beth Dunichay ...some of whom have since taught and coached at Ripfest. My athlete is headed the same direction as these current/former athletes and I couldn t be more proud of the safety and world-class training Ripfest clubs and camps offer. To say any less is to remain ignorant of the facts and details of how the Ripfest programs operate. They are leaders in the area of Safesport protocols not just for diving but for any sport.

I ll definitely be sending my kids again and look forward to seeing them give back by coaching in one of their programs one day.

If you haven t experienced one of their clubs or camps, I highly recommend visiting or contacting them; coaches are always attentive and open to questions.

Am I biased because my kids have been involved in the programs? Sure, who wouldn t be? One of my athletes has been to other diving camps and they were good, but nowhere near what Ripfest offered up in terms of training and kid safety and fun. Looking forward to many more years with them.

Thanks to coach Wingfield and Kate who are so dedicated to these kids and their success both in and out of the pool.
