Congrats to the High School Crew!

Many of our team members were able to compete for their high schools this season and had a very successful year.  We would like to congratulate and recognize all of our high school divers who made it to the State Meet this year.   The public high school state qualifiers were Lara Beth E., Megan O., Nell M., Kyle K., Jay P., Pat V..  Congratulations to all of the high school divers for another successful diving season!

Junior Olympic Regionals

We are gearing up to take some of our team members to the J.O. Regional meet in Columbia, South Carolina on March 26 - 27.  This is one of the qualifying meets for US Nationals.  Due to a previous engagement, Chad will be the only coach traveling to the meet.   The cost of the meet will be $20.00 per event entered (1M & 3M) as well as coaching fees and hotel rooms.  We are excited to make this trip and showcase some of diver’s talents outside our area.  If you are interested in this trip please let us know as soon as possible (by March 13th at the latest) so we can make hotel and travel arrangements.  If parents are interested in traveling with us, we welcome the company and help!  All divers planning to attend this meet must have turned in their US Diving registration!!

AAU Diving

Because of the cost of membership, Dive Tidewater has decided to offer two national memberships for diving this year.  AAU fees start in September of each year and runs through August and the fees are listed below.  Many of our team members have already joined AAU this year.  USA Diving begins in January and runs until December. We feel offering both forms of membership is the best way to protect our athletes.  See the chart below.  If divers attain a certain level of proficiency, we will have them join USA Diving as a J.O. Diver only.  Dive Tidewater will be registered as a club with both AAU and US Diving this year.  Chad and Amy will also be certified as US Diving coaches. 
  AAU Fee USA Diving Fee
Membership (Athlete) $12/ year $50/ year for Nov., Int.
$75/ year for J.O.
Membership (Coach) $12/ year $150/ year
Club Fee $30/ year $100/ year
 

Payment Information 

Thank you everyone for being so prompt with your monthly payments.  Just a reminder..........All checks for the diving camps (practices) need to be made out to ODU.  If you are making a team payment, you need to make the check payable to Dive Tidewater - Thanks!
