Barrie Dive Club

The Barrie Diving club I've been trying to get started is getting started. I just had a meeting with the Aquatics director at my swimming pool where her office is ( East Bayfield Rec center) about my intentions on developing a diving club for Barrie at the Holly rec center) and she is eager as I to get it up and running.

We are looking for a Sept start to have a year round diving club run at the Holly pool, ( times and day to be verified ) that I will coach. It will be city run with me being employed to coach, thus letting the admin of the club and insurance being handled by the city, which is better for me.

The idea of the club is to get up and coming divers from the city's learn to dive program into a higher level of learning and to compete in competitions around the Province in tier level competition and beyond. Woooo!

I also discussed with her about opening up the 3 meter board at recreation pool times, so as to have it available for all patrons who have the courage to try it, but with conditions applied to it! like anyone wanting to go off the 3 meter board can do so with feet first entry's only! unless proven they can do otherwise off the 1 meter board first, and to let me practice on it! as I have a competition coming up in 2 1/2 weeks and I am entered on the 3 meter board. I Also asked her to unlock the bolts on the 1 meter board so the board can be adjusted for better springing, they have it bolted now so as you can't adjust the fulcrum wheel for higher springing. I will be meeting with her tomorrow at the pool to show her and hopefully she will agree to undo it for the better of diving and my knees.

Now to develop a logo for the club!
