Coach
Walker Plym
Walker is from Charlotte, North Carolina, and is currently studying Business Administration with a minor in Data Science at UNC Chapel Hill. He has been involved with diving for about 10 years. He has always been an acrobat who loved doing flips and tricks since little, which is how he got into diving. Starting as a competitive year-round gymnast, Walker used those skills as a foundation to help transition into diving. Walker dove under Coach Anthony and Coach Adam for most of his time as a diver. He dove competitively for about a year and a half for Carolina Diving Academy, and qualified and competed in the 2018 USA Diving Junior National Championship on 3 Meter. More recently, in 2024, Walker placed 3rd at the NCHSAA State Championship on 1 meter. He is looking forward to returning to the coaching staff for the Gators this year and is thrilled for a great upcoming season!
