It is absolutely imperative that all parents and families are involved with the volunteer needs of the program as we head into our heavy meet season. We anticipate record numbers as we host the Ron O’Brien Invitational at the end of March and at the Junior National Championships at the end of July. The program and these events will necessitate everyone’s participation however big or small. Please keep your eyes peeled for volunteer opportunities that will be coming your way.
The MVN Dive Program will be hosting it’s annual Dive-A-Thon Fundraiser on the morning of June 1st, 2025. This is our one opportunity to raise funds to keep our facility updated and looking nice from year to year as all equipment maintenance for the facility falls on the Nadadores Diving Program. Examples of usage of the funds are annual replacement of diving boards, dryland mats and spotting equipment. We are always making the effort to provide every athlete with the top resources in the country to be the best they can be. It takes a village to accomplish this. Full program participation is a must in order to keep our facility as the premier training location in the United States.
Join Mission Viejo Nadador Pros, Steele Johnson and Grayson Campbell, for a unique experience taining with two of USA Diving’s most decorated Athletes.

This diving competition is in memory of a wonderful young Nadador diver Named Chris Vonk. He was talented, hard working, and always wore a smile on his face. Chris loved to surf and to dive, a true SoCal water-loving boy!
He was a JO National Team member when the Nadadores took JO National Titles in both 1988 & 1989. Chris passed away far too early life (1990 at age 16) when he had a car accident while driving himself to practice.
Chirs’ golden blond hair, bright smile, and big blue eyes will always shine down on our pool.
