Welcome to the 2022 NSJ Dive Season!
We are looking forward to another great year of diving, competition, and fun times with the NSJ community! We are also excited to announce our coaching staff for the 2022 season! All of our coaches work great together and will provide an excellent experience for our divers!
The NSJ Dive Team encourages fun, safety and courage. Divers compete on an age-based system with kids of all ability levels. The older divers provide great role models while younger divers provide energy and excitement. The large number of new and experienced divers provides a fun environment where all divers are continuously learning and pushing each other to new levels. In addition, these young athletes are guaranteed to build courage as they stand alone atop the diving board, not to mention the opportunity to learn some new, cool pool tricks!
