  • Edinburgh Diving Club Founded in 1971 History a History of Diving in Edinburgh
    Edinburgh Diving Club Founded in 1971 History A History of diving in Edinburgh The Club Committee asked Bill Law to write this brief history of diving in Edinburgh. Bill was one of the founders of the Edinburgh Diving Club in 1971. He served on every diving committee in Scotland and was a life member of the Scottish Amateur Swimming Association. He was National Coach for many years and has been Manager of the British Diving team at international events. Sadly, Bill passed away on 19 December 2009. In the beginning.. To look at, Warrender Baths today would give no indication that the sport of diving had ever been practised in the pool. However, when opened in 1888 the facilities for gymnastic activities compared favourably with those in many parts of the world. There was a diving platform 10 feet above the deep end with various steps from which beginners could dive. Also there was a springboard two feet high which was little more than a plank of wood, a chute, rings and a trapeze over the pool. One might think that all those activities into a pool barely 6ft deep would be dangerous, but at that time most indoor pools in the country were limited to that depth and divers developed a technique which made for safe entry into the water. Edinburgh at that time boasted another six pools with similar facilities, at Portobello, Glenogle Road, Leith Victoria, Infirmary Street, Dalry and Drumsheugh. All of these baths produced divers at club level who held District or Scottish titles. It was not until the mid forties to early fifties that a real interest in competitive diving developed due to the emergence of Sir Peter Heatly who became Scottish Champion, British Champion, dived for GB in the 1948 and 1952 Olympic Games and won Gold in the 1950, 1954 and 1958 British Empire Games (now the Commonwealth Games).
