Below: pics of the inside of the cube. Here is the diving platform. It looks like a toy set!

Below: Dara mapping out her strategy with her coaches and warming up. Her body is feeling a little tight, so we have upped the training. We mash and stretch her in the morning, and then in the afternoon we mash her again. Its taken a couple of days but she is feeling better. In her own words, " I feel strong in the water, just not snappy". We shall see on game day, and form prior experience we know she will peak nicely!
