Dive team reminder. Did you know that in addition to a fantastic swim team, Scottish Hills also has a dive team? We're lucky to be one of the few pools in the area with diving boards and a summer dive team. If you have a child ages 6-18, consider joining dive team! No diving experience is necessary; most of the divers have never participated in a dive program before, but love jumping from the boards and being part of a great team. Coaches will work with the divers to teach them the basic skills and to help them select dives to compete in meets. Practices are Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays for an hour each practice. Meets are held on Thursday evenings at pools in Cary and Raleigh, and this year, the kids will even have a chance to compete at Duke University. Complete practice and meet schedules are at http://www.scottishhills.org/diveteam/index.html Interested? Try out a few practices! Come out to a practice this week or next week (Mon/Wed/Fri 6pm-7pm) to have your child try out a practice, meet the other divers, and talk to the coaches. For more information, please contact Dive Team Coordinator Debbie Tomasko at diveteam@scottishhills.org
