The 2011-2012 Competitive Season is Underway!

Well, we’re all-up-and-training, and we’ve now had our first long weekend!  All of our Beginner, Advanced and Competitive divers are back in the pool for another exciting season of diving.  This season we are happy to have all of the Revolution and Pan Am Diving Club divers training together as one.  The season started in September, but some of the Competitive divers began in August, as many of them attended a camp coached by Dallas Ludwick.  Here they are, enjoying a break in action during one of our long – but very fun – days at camp!

Thanksgiving Day Holiday

Hello Monday Divers!

Just a reminder that there is NO DIVING on Monday, October 10th, as the pool is closed early for the Holiday.

Also, aside from the Competitive programs, there will be no diving on Monday, October 31st, due to many requests for divers to be able to go trick-or-treating!

Both Monday and Monday/Wednesday classes will be continued on for two classes in order to accommodate the two missed Mondays.  There will still be 10 lessons in the session for all classes.

Here’s to THANKS for the great weather this fall!  :)
