Dive Team at LSA

Our experienced and enthusiastic coaches will be returning for the 2025 season. 

Dive practices begin Monday, June 2, 2025

​
No Experience Required - Just Desire
The LSA Dive Team is for anyone age 4 to 18 who enjoys jumping off the diving board. No prior experience is necessary. Diving is a great sport for building character and confidence. The coaches aim to minimize stress and inject plenty of fun activities into the training. Coaches spend quality one-on-one time with every diver to set achievable goals, chart their progress and keep them motivated.

SIGN UP FORMS

  • Membership Info to Join Team

Not Sure About Diving?
Newcomers are welcome to try it out anytime before making a final commitment. Please be sure to sign your son/daughter up so we know to expect them. No previous experience is necessary; however, if the coaches feel a young diver is not yet ready for organized practices, then that child will be asked to wait until next year.

What dives are being taught?
Each diver learns new dives at their own pace. As a general rule of thumb, divers in a given age group will perform the following:
  • 6 & under - Forward and Back Jumps, Line-ups
  • 8 & under - Jumps and Forward Dive with hurdle
  • 10 & under - Add a Back Dive and/or Somersault
  • 12 & under - Add a Inward or Twisting Dive
  • 14 & under - More Somersaults, possibly a Reverse Dive
  • 18 & under - A Variety of Simple and Complex Dives
You can find more details about dive list requirements for each age group at www.pasda.org.

SIGN-IN Sheet Every Practice
We ask that team members please sign-in when they arrive at practice. Sign-in sheets will be at the Pool entrance table. Team members will not be penalized for missing practice, rather the list is helpful for coaches to know exactly who is in attendance to ensure the safety of our swimmers and divers. Please remind your child to only sign themselves in and not their friends.
