2025 Dive Season Registration IS OPEN!
The MHC Dive Team is looking forward to another great season of diving, competing in NVSL Dive Division 8.
Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make our last dive season a success by setting up for our home meets, working the table, judging, announcing, working concessions, taking pictures and helping clean up at the end of home meets. We can’t do it without you!
MHC DIVE TEAM REGISTRATION – Registration is open! All payments must be made online when you register, all divers must be electronically registered via our online registration system. Price for 2025 are as follows: One diver = $275, each additional diver added is $225ea.
TRY IT OUT FOR A WEEK – Once a safety waiver has been signed (online part of the registration process), your diver can ‘try-out’ the dive team for one week before payment is required. The Piranhas Dive Team welcomes new members, so please come on out! We’ve had children as young as four on the team, so don’t let age be an issue – the younger they start, the better!

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
We need volunteers to run a Dive Meet! MHC provides 2-3 Judges to rate each dive on a scale of one to ten, and 2-3 Table Workers to record scores after each dive and then add up the diver’s score, and an announcer. Finally, we need 2 concessions workers feed our hungry divers and help raise funds to subsidize our team. There are NVSL clinics scheduled to teach you everything you need to know about judging or working the tables. We cannot participate in a dive meet without volunteers.
The current years NVSL clinic dates are posted online and on the bulletin board. Training is free and no pre-registration is necessary. Even if you aren’t ready to judge, the judges clinic is really informative if you want to understand the sport of diving more.
QUESTIONS?
Please contact the MHC Dive Team Rep, Sharon Moss, at diverep@mansionhouseclub.com.
*Quiet Swim during dive meets: The pool will be open for lap swimming only. The baby pool will be closed. The diving well and the grounds on either side of the diving well will also be closed for spectators. The divers need quiet in order to focus on their dives. We ask that adults stay with their children during this time to assist them in keeping their voices down. Please be respectful of the divers. Thank you.

Year Round Diving
Where may my diver continue once the summer dive season ends? Check out Tim Fisher’s Alexandria Dive Club. Alexandria Dive Club is a year round competitive program that offers novice through Masters classes in a safe and energetic learning environment with lots of fun for every skill level. With over 20 years of diving and coaching experience including AAU, US diving, High School and NVSL, ADC is big enough to compete on a National level but small enough to know each and every diver enrolled. The coaching staff is truly passionate about the sport of diving.
ADC focuses on solid fundamentals and proper execution of skill progressions. They also teach: Sportsmanship, Winning Attitude, Goal Setting, and Mental Preparation. ADC uses spotting rigs over trampolines and 1 & 3 meter diving boards which is a belt system used to train more complicated dives with confidence. ADC also has an indoor and outdoor dryland facility with spotting rigs over a trampoline.
So if your diver wants to continue diving once our summer season ends, ADC has a class for you. Classes run year-round in eight-week sessions with five sessions offered from September to August. Registration is easily accessible on the ADC website.
Please contact Tim Fisher with any questions call him at 571-274-1973.
