Coaching Staff

Debby McCormick
Debby Lipman, as she was before she married Glenn, was an outstanding diver in her own right. She trained under Glenn and competed for 13 years. She has 23 National and 10 International diving medals to her credit.  Debby graduated from and competed for Cal State University, Long Beach, coaching the men and women’s diving teams at CSULB from 1976-1984. She began coaching with Glenn in 1976, and they coached together for over 20 years. She has also served as a judge and coach both nationally and internationally. Since Glenn’s passing, Debby has kept the McCormick Divers in the same spirit as when Glenn was alive. Those who have been fortunate enough to dive with them remain part of their extended diving family.
Debby has remained current in the competitive field.  She is also an excellent tennis player who has accumulated over a dozen National tennis titles including a #1 National ranking in Women’s doubles in 1999.
