Diving Highlights


Student - Athlete


7th grade in Fall 2025

Welcome to Rishaan Dives

Penfield Varsity Diving. He trains with Coach Cliff Devries at Upstate NY Diving at the Rochester Institute of Technology.


Diving has been an incredible source of growth. Thankful to coaches and his diving family.


Physically fit - Mentally strong 💪

🎓 STUDENT - ATHLETE 💪

HIS SCHOOL GRADES:


Excellent grades and in accelerated courses. A+



RISHAAN IN A NUTSHELL:


There are 2 pathways for elite club diving (competes within age class) - USA Diving and AAU.  Rishaan competes in both pathways. He also competes on Varsity high school diving, where the milestone meet is the NYS Diving Championship (competes with athletes much older than him).


In 2025, Rishaan competed successfully at all three National meets (USA Diving, AAU, and AAU RWB). He also competed as a finalist at the NYS Diving Championships. Highlights included placing in the top 3 in the country at AAU Nationals and placing 20th as a finalist at the 2025-26 NYS  Diving Championships (youngest diver at the competition). Locations of these highly competitive meets were Mission Viejo, CA, Riverside, CA, Huntersville, NC and Ithaca, NY.


In 2026, Rishaan has qualified for AAU and AAU RWB National meets so far. His performance at RWB qualifiers was exceptional, and may earn Team USA credentials in 2026.


Rishaan is a two-time AAU All-American (2025, both 1m and 3m). 


Honored to be among a very select few across the nation to represent Team USA and compete on the international stage in Budapest, Hungary as part of the 3rd Olympic Hopes International Diving Competition in November 2025. Top 10 in both 1m and 3m. Rishaan was the Top American on 1m springboard. 


Rishaan competed on Penfield Varsity Swimming and Diving for the 2025-26 season as a 7th grader. Rishaan finished undefeated in dual meets. Rishaan holds both 6-dive and 11-dive PHS school records. Rishaan capped off the season as the Champion for NYS Section V, Class A Championship (the first Penfield student to win a Sectionals Diving Championship). Rishaan had a successful States meet. He made it through both cut rounds. Placed 20th in NYS as a finalist - as a 7th grader - and the highest finish ever at States by a Penfield diver. 


Rishaan closed out his 7th grade Varsity season with the 1) Penfield High School Rising Star Award for Boys Swimming and Diving and 2) Monroe County Public School Athletic Conference First Team All-County selection for Division 1 Boys Swimming and Diving. 


Rishaan is super focused and has been able to manage his time very well - his busy schedule requires that. Not only has Rishaan been nationally recognized as an elite diver, he has excelled in the classroom and extracurricular activities. He has excellent grades in accelerated courses, he has been recognized as an All-County Violinist in Monroe County for several years.


Rishaan works hard and is simply a pleasant person to be around.
