Erin Whipple
Hello families! My name is Erin Whipple; I’m so happy to be returning to Newport this summer as the dive coach! I’m currently a junior at the University of Washington, and I dove at state in high school. I grew up in Midlakes, diving since I was eight, so I am very excited to pass on my love and knowledge of this sport. I have experience coaching high schoolers for the school district, and I also enjoy teaching new divers. I look forward to coaching new kids, from doing their first hurdle to their first front flip. 

 Summer Dive Team 2023

Please return completed AAU registration and Midlakes Hold Harmless form to the Head Coach
on the first day of practice. 
​
Registration opens May 1st
.What is Dive Team:
A fun, positive, and goal oriented program for kids up to the age of 18. Compete on a weekly basis and strive for improvement for each individual diver, while making sure they are enjoying the sport of diving in an encouraging environment. Coached by experienced divers that are confident in their knowledge of the sport. No Dive Team experience needed but participants must be able to swim 25 meters. Final practice times are determined by the coach
​
Dive Team members must be members of NHSTC or of any other Midlakes pool that does not have a dive team. For more information on how to become a member
 Cost is $200 for first child, and $190 for each additional child.

The dive team suits will be the same as the swim team suits this year.
2022 SafeSport Requirement for All Midlakes Participants (Swimmers, Parents/Volunteers, Board, Coaches)
 
 
All swimmers, divers and water polo players will need to be SafeSport trained to compete in Midlakes Swim & Dive League. Midlakes Swim & Dive League is committed to improving the development and safety of athletes and participants involved in swim, dive, and water polo. In an effort to prevent the emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of athletes, Midlakes wants to implement both prevention training and prevention policies. The goal of all trainings is to equip participants with knowledge on how to Prevent, Recognize, and Report sexual misconduct and keep our league safe and fun for all participants.
 
If Coaches and Swimmers are not trained before your Club’s first practice, they will not be allowed to enter the pool until your training is complete. Parents and Volunteers must be trained by June 1st. We recommend everyone get trained as soon as possible, so you don’t forget and end up rushing to squeeze the training in at the last minute.
