PLEASE READ: LF Dive Meet Tuesday, June 2
Hello Dive Families,
Our first dive meet of the season is tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2!
If your child will not be diving tomorrow, please text or email me: 📱 502-802-1087, 📧 [email protected]
Meet Information
This week's meet is an intrasquad meet, which means our team will be diving only against ourselves. Because of that, the atmosphere will be very relaxed and low-pressure. If this is your child's first meet, this is a great one to start with!
Location: Lake Forest Lodge Pool
Schedule:
- 5:00 p.m. – Warm-ups begin
- 5:45 p.m. – Meet starts
- All age groups will compete at the same time.
- The meet should last approximately one hour.
We have a small team, so we are adjusting our normal meet schedule to allow everyone extra warm-up time and a mini practice before competition begins.
Thank you to the parents who have already volunteered to help!
Dive Cards
I will complete dive cards during warm-ups. Normally these are prepared ahead of time, but for this first meet we will be flexible as divers continue practicing and finalizing their dive lists.
Please arrive on time and be ready to enter the water when warm-ups begin.
