A member of Bradford Esprit Diving Club says her Olympic call-up is a dream come true.

The club's vice-chairman Nina Mewse, who has been involved on the committee of Bradford's premier diving club for over 25 years, will be a national technical official at the London Games' diving competition.

She will be part of the team that carries out all the manual recording processes, including checking dive sheets and making sure they have been completed properly.

However, Mewse confessed: “To be honest, there is more work carried out in preparation than during an actual event.

"We’ll then have to ensure results are checked and disseminated etc.

"Some deck officials will be ensuring that people are in the right place at the right time, parading the competitors before their events."

Mewse's association with the club started in the 1980s when her son, then aged six, started diving under the coaching of Andy Banks, who is now coach to Olympic medal hopeful Tom Daley.

Initially used as a recorder and chaperone on away trips, Mewse has now recorded for over 25 years, from the very basic club competitions for novices through to regional, national and international events, including the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.

She is also the director of finance for the Great Britain Diving Federation.

Mewse and former Esprit chairman Lesley Grist record at virtually all their competitions, no matter where they are in the country.

They also do most of the organising of the Great Britain Diving Federation (GBDF) events.

Despite a lifetime spent in diving, Mewse hasn't competed hersel;f.

She says: “I’ve never dived, I love watching it but hate doing it, but I do jump in and love snorkelling.

"I’ve also swum with dolphins, played with manta rays and walked on the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, so I am a bit of a water person”

Asked about her prestigious call-up, Mewse said: "I feel really honoured, excited and proud to have been selected for this fantastic event, and to be given this once in a lifetime opportunity to be a small part of the Olympics is like a dream come true”
