Welcome to the Twisters Diving Team. Our team members include divers from all ages and diving skill levels. We practice and compete from both the 1-meter (low), and 3-meter (high) springboards. The Twisters Dive Team is a registered member of AAU Diving, a national diving association. This membership provides the team, the facility, and the athlete with insurance coverage for both practice and competition. It also allows registered team members to participate in AAU Diving sanctioned meets. All of our coaches are registered with AAU, and a few are also registered with the USA Diving program. In order to register with USA Diving the coaches must attend a national “Safety Certification” course, and pass a written and life saving examination, every three years. They must also be certified in CPR and First Aid.

TEAM PHILOSOPHY
The goals of the Twister diving team are as follows:
-to DIVE SAFELY!
-to HAVE FUN!
-to teach diving skills
-to enjoy the sport of diving
-to allow team members to achieve their diving goals
-to develop divers self confidence and discipline
-to promote teamwork
Our coaches will balance these goals by requiring that divers follow basic safety rules. Divers will comply with these rules at all times. Divers not complying with these rules will be asked to leave the pool. As our team develops physically and emotionally, some rules may be modified. The rules are:
-NO HORSEPLAY such as pushing people in the water, flipping towels or Sammys, pushing, shoving, running, fighting, etc.
-DO NOT hang or sit on the boards, stands, or ladders while waiting your turn.
-DO NOT double bounce the board (multiple bounces).
-DO NOT get on the trampoline without the coaches direct supervision. Observe the very strict guidelines of trampoline use such as no bouncing without the coach’s permission, no somersaults without using a spotting belt, only one diver on the tramp at a time, please pay attention when waiting your turn, and please learn to spot other divers when they are bouncing.
-BE COURTEOUS to other divers. Please do not waste time while on the board, get out of the water as soon as you complete your dive, and do not distract other divers with disruptive behavior during their dive. Be ready to dive when it is your turn.
-Follow all of the pool’s regular rules (we are their guests)
-FOLLOW THE COACH’S INSTRUCTIONS AT ALL TIMES
