Tuckahoe Dive Team
Join the Tuckahoe Dive Team!
Tuckahoe offers exceptional dive instruction and competitive opportunities for youth members ages 7–18, with potential for younger participants (ages 5–6) based on readiness. Our Dive Team competes in the Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL) during the summer and offers a Winter Dive Program, providing athletes with a year-round path to improve skills and build strength.
If your child is ages 5–6 and wants to participate in the summer Tuckahoe Dive Team and/or winter dive program, please contact the Tuckahoe Dive Team Reps for an assessment with a coach. Your 5–6 year old must demonstrate:
- Ability to readily jump off the diving board without fear.
- Desire to learn a front dive.
- Ability to quickly swim to the poolside, keeping practice on pace for older divers.
- Ability to follow 30 minutes of focused instruction and maintain emotional and body control to ensure a productive session for all divers.
Dive into a season of growth and fun with Tuckahoe, where young athletes receive high-quality coaching in a supportive and exciting environment!
