Dive Team is considered a novice diving experience to introduce young people to and encourage their enjoyment of diving. The emphasis will be in skill mastery first, followed by learning new dives, in a safe and fun environment for all participants. Each diver will learn basic skills, proper use of the diving board, entries, front and back jumps, progressing through forward, backward, inward, twisting and reverse dives at his or her own ability level.

Every diver's goal will be to achieve his or her "Dive List" of competitive dives that they can safely perform. Every team member will be guaranteed the opportunity to participate in all meets. Team workouts will begin at the end of May and the season will conclude with the Championship Meets held the last weekend of July or first weekend of August. Remember that no experience is necessary. A new diver can learn the basics of diving and have the opportunity to participate on a fun, rewarding team that promises to encourage and promote the individuals self-esteem.
