C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 We often see posts about dance, gymnastics, or swim team. I haven't noticed any divers, Do we have any divers on this board, apart from my daughter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 No. But I hope to be. I want to take a diving class with my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I thought scuba when I read your title but my guess is you are talking diving into a pool. Dd is to young for either but dh and I are scuba certified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I read driving moms. I sure do drive. My kids took diving for a little while, but didn't stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 My middle dd just left the sport. She missed dance. She was working 2 1/2 hours 4 days a week. Her lack of gymnastics background was starting to hurt her progress. She was a beautiful diver (5 years) but could never get enough height for doubles etc. to be honest, I hated diving. I had t turn my head for many of her dives. If you are not at the right angle it sure looks like your kid is going to the hit board. I teased her that she was giving me a heart condition.

Wildcat Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I thought scuba when I read your title but my guess is you are talking diving into a pool. Dd is to young for either but dh and I are scuba certified. I thought scuba, too, and was going to post, but then I wondered about competition diving, because in Quebec, I wouldn't imagine scuba being too much fun unless one wore a dry suit and those are a pain!

Another Lynn Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 We have only done summer dive. Trust me there is a shortage of teenage boys on summer dive teams, so 5 dives that can "count" are good enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes, I meant competitive diving, and by 'diving moms' I meant moms of competitive divers ;-) My daughter switched to diving last year after 6 years of competitive gymnastics. Last year was tough as she had to unlearn a lot of things. But now the coach is talking about sending her national like next year possibly!, and she has yet to do a single competition. (she will soon though). I was wondering if that was the norm or not, for a coach to be able to say so much in advance whether a child can go national or not.

In The Great White North Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have a diver on the high school swim team. Our pool does not have a board, so she cannot practice with us. She dives in a year round program but they don't go to competitions. Their coach is the local college coach. He was able to predict her place at States rather accurately, so I'd say your dd's coach probably can predict when she might make it to nationals.
