Calling All Donaldson Run Divers (new and returning)!
Once again, the DR Divers want to offer a special invitation to parents of children who have never been on the boards before. Diving is not hard. Our excellent coaches will show you how, at your own pace. Discover how much fun it is to participate in an organized sport and develop neighborhood friendships. We do more than just dive! Our activities create special bonds and childhood memories with a great group of children.
Plan on joining us for the pizza party on June 13th, where you can learn about diving, talk with friends and enjoy the refreshments.
Become Part of the Team
Donaldson Run Divers has been very successful in recent years. In fact, we were co-champions of Division 2 in 2009. All the divers, especially the new divers, have learned many new skills. We look forward to another good year in 2010.

The summer diving season is short. There are only five meets with team scores that determine team standings. For the team to do its best, we need every swimmer every Tuesday from June 29th through July 27th. Please plan vacations, camps, and other activities after the season ends. Don't let the kids miss out!
Practice Schedule
Divers will practice by age and ability group for about an hour on weekdays. Starting on May 24h, practice will be in the evening from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. On June 28th practice will move to a mid-day time block, from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm and an evening block from 6:00 - 8:00 pm on certain days for those who can't make the mid-day time or who want additional practice. Developmental divers will generally practice during the first half of each practice period.
Please consult the 2010 Dive Team Calendar and the 2010 Parent/Diver Information document for more details concerning practice times, including exceptions to the general practice schedule described above.
