AH Dive Summer Week #1
Good morning Dive Team Families,
Summer is officially here and morning practices start today! View the schedule here. I hope everyone had a great time at the Teams Kickoff Party on Friday night. Looking forward to this coming week, we have three events to prepare for.
First off, our Mandatory Dive Parent & Coach Meeting is on Tuesday night at 7pm. I’m hoping to run through our slides in 30 minutes (or less!) and will have time for Q&A at the end.
Picture Day is Friday morning. Dive team pictures will start around 9am. We’ll do the team photo first, followed by individual/sibling photos. We still need 1-2 volunteers to assist the photographer during dive pictures. Volunteer here. Order pictures here (check your email for the password).
We will be wrapping up the week on Saturday June 27 with our First Annual Otter RipFest Mock Meet! The meet will start at 9:00am and is expected to end around 10:30am. Please note the updated ending time – I’m hoping we can move things along smoothly and get you off to your other weekend activities.
Here is the expected timeline:
Arrivals: 8:45am-9:00am
Warm-ups: 9:00am-9:20am
Event set up: 9:20am-9:30am
Event and Judging Clinic: 9:30am-10:30am
We are strongly encouraging all divers to compete in a minimum of one dual meet this summer. As a friendly reminder, this is required for divers to qualify for the All City Championship meet. If you have a new or nervous diver this year, the mock meet will give them the opportunity to see how meets run without the stress of competition. However, this meet is an important event for the whole team as it will provide both divers and parents the opportunity to practice how a dive meet runs before we officially start competition season. Remember that all families are expected to volunteer a minimum of one shift during dual meets and All City.
I am still looking for an announcer and volunteers to train on the new computer system. Please sign up to train on these roles at Otter RipFest so we can be prepared for our dual meets! Reach out to me if you have any questions.
Next month

We will be holding a team bonding event with our coaches at SkyZone in Tukwila (thanks for the great idea, Coach Declan)! Purchase tickets and skysocks here. Make sure to select the 2:00pm slot on July 13!
Please note skysocks are required, and each participant will need to sign a SkyZone waiver before participating.
