Dolphin Diner after Rafternoon on Sunday

We will be hosting a hamburger/hot dog dinner for the pool membership after Rafternoon on July 19th. There are big changes to this so keep reading! Swim has canceled their Friday pep rally and instead will be joining us for the diner. This will greatly increase our sales, and also the workload. We’ll start the grills at about 4:30. Please sign up to help. I know you’re tired. We are too. We’re almost there. 🙂

Swim has also invited us to participate in their trunk or treat in the parking lot after we eat. Decorate your trunk, grab some candy, park on the right side of the parking lot, and have your kids dress up. The theme is Superhero/Halloween. This is entirely optional, and it was kind of Swim to include us.

HOME meet against Walden Glen

We are hosting Walden Glen on Tuesday, July 21st. This is our last duel meet of the season. Greenbriar will start warmups at 3:45 to take the boards at 4 pm. Walden Glen will take the boards at 5 and the meet starts at 6. Please declare your diver and sign up for jobs. https://greenbriar-pool-dive-team.swimtopia.com/swim_meets

Divisionals July 26

We can only take 16 divers to divisionals. This is an invitational only event. More information on divisionals will be sent separately.

Wally Martin Synchro

This is a partner event and open to everyone. 12 and under partners will perform 3 dives and 13+ partners will perform 4 dives. This is a just for fun event that kids usually really enjoy! There will be some practice times available at Old Keene Mill and our kids can do a decent job of getting timing down on our two boards. Note that the event will be held during the day on Tuesday the 28th. I do not mind transporting divers to the event if that is a need your family has. https://dive.mynvsl.com/file/37409/2026___Synchro_Flyer_pdf

End of season celebration

Our end of year celebration will be Saturday, August 1st at 6 pm at the pool. We’ll order pizza and provide drinks. We ask that families provide a side or dessert. Please RSVP so that we know how much pizza to provide. Kids will receive recognition, their coveted paper plate awards, and the all important shammie!

We also traditionally do a “Diving for Coins” in the deep end! Bring a bag of coins and your diver’s goggles for this.

Trivia!

Last week’s photo was of Rowan and Leighton, circa 2019! Congrats to Jenny for being the first to respond.

This week’s question:

Who is the current Greenbriar Dive Freshman Girl’s 3 meter record holder? First to respond gets a treat from the diner on Tuesday. The diver, their parents, and reps are not eligible to win. :)

As always, we’d like to thank our sponsors–Acclaim Home Services, Katrina Funkhouser, Centreville Swim Club, Mobility, Etc, and Gotta Go with Joe! See the Greenbriar dive website for links to all of our 2026 sponsors
