Dive parents: can you supervise an hour of open practice time?
May 20th
Dear dive families,
You may be aware that insurance regulations mean that divers cannot practice back or inward dives during general opening hours at Manor Woods. In order to afford athletes more free time to work on their skills, we are planning to continue supplemental practice times (aka open practice, open boards, or dive team hours). These will not be coached sessions, but designated times during the week when lifeguards will not be enforcing the prohibition on back approaches.
In order to make this happen, we need every dive family to fill out this form so we can
- identify the one-hour time slots during the week that meet the needs of the most divers and other pool users and
- identify parents who are trained as judges (or plan to become trained) to supervise these time slots.
The full list of 2026 training sessions is now available here!
With many thanks,
Chelsie (emeritus Dive Rep)
