Dive Team at LSAOur experienced and enthusiastic coaches will be returning for the 2026 season.
Dive practices begin Monday, June 1, 2026 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 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:
Dive Team Practice
Afternoons until public schools close
Practice will begin on Monday, June 1st. While public schools are still in session, practice times will be weekday afternoons.
No Dive Practice on Wednesday June 24th! Last Day of School Party at the pool instead! Summer Practice Schedule Starting Thursday June 25th Monday - Friday
Divers may choose any practice that best fits their schedule, regardless of age, but in general:
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.
