SPRINGBOARD DIVE TEAM 

To participate in the DGSRC Dolphin Dive Team, your child must be at least eight years old (as of June 1) and MUST have taken previous dive lessons or be comfortable doing forward and backward dives without a coach’s spot.  Children should also be comfortable swimming in deeper water and be able to swim two lengths of the lower pool safely.  Children without previous diving experience should sign up for lessons and can be referred to the dive team if spots are available and they advance quickly.  There will be a tryout for the dive team, where your child will demonstrate their abilities.

Divers can compete dives from the five core categories of dives, which include forward, back, reverse, inward, and twist dives.  Each category builds from basic dives to adding the rotation of flips in each direction.

The DGSRC Dolphin Dive Team participates in meets in a round-robin circuit with other teams in the Inter Suburban Dive Conference. The meets typically last around 1-2 hours, depending on the number of participants, and will all take place on Wednesday nights.

Please note that all participants must be eight years old by June 1, 2025.  No exceptions.

Only paid DGSRC members are eligible to participate in dive team programming. 

Dive Team Tryouts:

  • Tryout dates will be announced in March. Those who have not taken dive lessons previously must come to make sure they can enter the water head first. Anyone unable to make it at this time will need to schedule a separate tryout by emailing dgsrcdiving@gmail.com.
  • The season start date will be announced in March 2025.
  • Parent info meeting will be held before Memorial Day.
