Clinic

Dive Tidewater is offering a springboard diving clinic at Old Dominion during the Fall and Winter of 2002. During the clinic, the staff will be teaching a variety of skills including;

1.  Basic trampoline and tumbling

2.  Dryland drills (flexibility, strength, and agility)

3.  Forward approach and back press

4.  Basic dives, somersaulting , and twisting

All divers are asked to bring the following:

1.  A bathing suit (boys must wear a speedo or a jammer!)

2.  A towel or sammy

3.  Tennis shoes (must be able to run and jump in them)

4.  A pair or exercise shorts and a t-shirt

5.  A water bottle or plastic container

Session 1 will begin on Saturday the 7^th of September.  The session will continue on Saturdays and Sundays for six weeks ending on Sunday, October the 12^th.

Session 2 will begin on Saturday the 2nd of November.  The session will continue on Saturdays and Sundays for six weeks  (there will be a week off in the middle of the session for Thanksgiving) and will end on Saturday, December 14^th.

Due to the pool time available to us, we will break each session into two groups, beginner and intermediate.  The beginners group will practice from 4:30 – 6:00pm and the intermediates will practice from 5:30 – 7:00pm.  There will be a two week break between the two sessions in October.  Divers will choose to practice either once or twice a week (6 or 12 total practices).  A diver can make up any practice throughout the session by staying for an extra time slot or coming an extra day.  Also, at the end of each session, we will host a diving competition to allow the team members to showcase the skills they have learned and improved (dates will be named later).
