MEET DAY @ Tuckahoe

Hi All,

Just to clear up any confusion, We have our second meet tonight (June 27) @ Tuckahoe 1814 Greet Falls Street, Mclean 22101. Like last week, we will have the boards at 5pm so we need to arrive at 4:45 to stretch. Waze says to expect a 22-25 minute drive at that time of day to McLean. That means I will be leaving Greenbriar Pool around 4:20. If anyone needs a ride just email me or text me (703) 980-8313. 

Tuckahoe does have snack bar that will be open and they do have a 3 meter board they will open after the meet for any divers who have the correct experience for 3 meter.

Weather is the big issue tonight. Who knows what we will get. Last night was supposed to be bad and I am not certain it ever rained. Hopefully it will have already passed by warm-ups or will hold off until after the meet. Be prepared to go to the meet even if it is raining. We will try and get as much of the meet in as possible so only a portion of the meet will need to take place at a later time. 

As a reminder a team is only allowed to dive 32 divers at a given meet. I think we will have around 30 divers available so this limit won't be an issue this week.

That doesn't mean all 30 will dive Freshman (10 and below) are required to dive three dives. They must have a front dive or fall in. A back dive or back fall in and a optional dive that can be as difficult as they want or as easy as a pencil dive. If a diver fails at more than one dive (i.e., feet touch before hands or head on a front or back dive they will be disqualified). If we have a diver who is unable to complete these dives in practice or is not close to competing these dives in practice, we will typically hold them out for a week and allow them some more practice time. Anyone who is unsure if they have the correct number of dives (Freshman, Junior, Intermediate or Senior) needs to be at the practice this morning and demonstrate to the coaches you are ready!

Thank you parents for volunteering! All jobs are currently filled but always be ready to pitch in if someone is running late or is having other difficulties.

Please practice this morning if you can. All three coaches will be at the pool to finalize meet sheets, help you get your last dive and prepare you for the meet.
