Dive Team Program Overview:
The Shorewood Dive Team is a unique group that encompasses divers with many different ability levels, including those who primarily enjoy the recreation and the atmosphere, to those who dive year-round and are hoping to set new records.  The children are usually between the ages of 5 and 18.  The program is uniquely designed to meet the individual needs and desires of each diver, while simultaneously promoting the positive benefits of team sport.
We are part of the All-City Dive League allcityswim.org, and regularly compete with the other participating teams from around the city.  The season is seven weeks long and involves daily practices Monday through Friday, with a dual meet each Friday evening for the first six weeks.  The final week culminates with the All-City Dive Meet and an end of year team celebration.
Children are encouraged to participate in as many practices and meets as possible, however the ultimate level of participation is an individual decision for each swimmer and his/her family.  All levels of participation are well received.  Meets are not a mandatory part of the team participation.
In addition to the practices and meets, there are numerous additional team-oriented activities that are available to the divers.  These include such things as a team movie, bicycle ride to Babcock Hall for ice cream, Brewers outing, trip to Noah’s Ark, frequent cookouts, and much more.
As each summer goes on, the team becomes a big family and is one of the truly special programs that the pool has to offer.  Come on out and help us with the team cheer…  YEE!

  • Divers may be of any age, however should be able to safely swim in the deep water of the diving well, without needing assistance.  If a diver is unable to do this at the start of the program, they are able to join the team at any point during the season when they become able.
  • Divers must compete in at least three dual meets to be eligible for participation in the All-City Dive Meet.
