Profile: Harry Glover (Head Coach)
Between the ages of six and twelve, Harry competed as a Gymnast at his local club in Plymouth. Following a trial at a local summer diving camp he soon became hooked and
joined the Plymouth Diving Team and trained with a younger Tom Daley where he specialised on the 10m platform.
Harry went on to study at the University of Leeds and graduated with a BSc (Hons) Degree in Sports Science and Physiology as well as achieving a NVQ Level 3 in Sporting Excellence & Diving.
Whilst withdrawing from competitive diving in 2011 which took him all over Europe, Harry continues to enjoy the thrill of diving through coaching and diver progression. He was most recently head diving coach in the 10m centre in Luton and was also seen diving in the Tom Daley ITV show Splash!
