  2. Must be able to swim at least 2 full lengths of the pool without stopping.

It is possible that a swimmer may meet all the criteria but still not make the team if there are many swimmers that try out.

No locker rooms will be available before or after swim practice, M.T,W,F.  Please arrive with your swim suit on and an adequate layer of warmth.

Swimmers should come to the pool with their swim suit on and be seated in the hallway by the art room NO LATER THAN 6:00 PM. Divers should be seated in the pool bleachers NO LATER THAN 6:15 PM.

Students need to be picked up no later than 15 minutes after practice is dismissed, EVERY DAY.

DIVING INFO

My name is Amy Johnson, and I am the dive coach for both Woodside and Summit.  My email is 
bytheseaasj@yahoo.com and cell is 260-414-6856. 
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. 
I have been coaching dive for 9 years. 
I am an elementary PE teacher in Fort Wayne Community Schools at Brentwood. 

Dive practice is from 6:15 to 7:30.  This time will overlap with High School and Club Dive. 
Middle school will arrive and take 3 blue mats into the hallway. 
We will stretch, take attendance, go over the workout for the day, and return the mats at 6:30 to get in the water for an hour. 
Club divers will arrive and stretch while we are in the water.
Club divers will stay and join Club until xx. 

There are xx Practice days.  Both teams practice at the same time on the same boards. 

There will be NO Practice on the following dates:     
TBD

If there is a Meet, Middle school will not practice and Club kids will go the club practice. 
This would a good time to check out an intro to dive through IISD (Indiana International School of Diving). 

Conference qualifications are a 4 step hurdle and 6 different dives. 
There are only 3 divers entered for each team for conference.

We will have 3 days of tryouts starting Tuesday, January xx, 2025.   
I will let the divers know they have made the team on Thur, Jan. xx after practice.

Please arrive on time to pick up your diver after practice. 
I will not leave until all athletes have been picked up and are accounted for. 

I am excited for our season and am ready to get started!   We are going to have a lot of fun!

Thank you,

Amy Johnson
