| 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! |
