About Legacy Cincinnati

Legacy Diving’s Cincinnati location took flight in 2016 under the direction of head coach Lisa Werwinski. A former diver at Miami University, Coach Lisa has leaned on the knowledge and mentorship of Legacy founder Buck Smith to build a strong program and bring the Legacy model to Southwest Ohio.

The Cincinnati Hub has a strong legacy and a high ratio of success for our size and short existence, particularly at the high school level. Some of our accolades include…
