Durant Swim

So proud of our diver!

This month's Rising Star, sponsored by Jarrett Scott Ford, is Durant diver Chloe Crim.

Since she was just five years old, Durant High School Diver Chloe Crim’s life has revolved around being in the water. Though she doesn’t remember what first caught her interest in diving, it’s been her love ever since.
“I told my parents when I was five that I wanted to learn, so they signed me up,” said Chloe. “After 10 years, it’s been the only sport I’ve ever done.”
As Durant’s only diver on the team, Chloe is used to diving solo.
“Even though my competition scores go toward the girl’s swim team’s score at our weekly swim meets, I am usually one of the only divers at competitions, so it’s about beating myself and doing better every competition,” said Chloe.
And getting better is what she trains for year-round.
“I’ve had two coaches during my career who have helped me become the athlete I am today,” said Chloe. “They both have prepared me for my next big step — college diving.”
While Chloe has had lots of experience in high school diving at 1 meter, collegiate diving is both 1 and 3 meters.
“I’ve been working on being more confident in my dives, as well as working more on the 3 meter,” said Chloe.
As for Chloe’s resume, she’s made an impressive splash in the diving world.
“Last year, I placed 2nd at both districts and regionals and then went on to the finals at states,” said Chloe. “After that, I made it to nationals, which was a huge deal for me.”
Chloe’s favorite dive to complete is the Forward 1.5 Full Twist, which involves diving forward while doing a 360-degree twist and going head-first into the water.
As for her future goals? Chloe is reaching for the stars.
“My biggest dream has always been to go to college on a scholarship for diving,” said Chloe. “I want to place higher at states and grow the number and difficulty of dives I do in competitions so it will get the attention of college coaches.”
Be on the lookout for Chloe at local swim competitions and the bright future she’s making for herself in the diving world.
