S o arin g High Being a member of North's diving team wasn't easy dur- ing pre-season as North High's pool was without a diving board until the second week in February. That meant the entire team plus Coach Sandy McCready had to travel across the river to the Wes Nott Pool on Cleveland Avenue for their daily practice session. The eight member squad is an important part of the Red Knight Swim Team, competing in each scheduled meet during the 1982 season. Three boys and three girls are eligi- ble to compete each week making practices doubly impor- tant as the divers must qualify as members of each meet's team through intrasquad competition and their attendance record. Divers must perform six dives at each meet with a dif- ficulty rating of 1.0 to 3.0. These dives are evaluated by three or five judges who look for excellence in the ap- proach, the departure off the board, the entry into the water, the precision and form of movements, and the dive's difficulty rating. A score of 0 to a perfect 10 may be award- ed by each judge. Then the judges' scores are averaged and recorded and finally totaled for each diver's performance during the meet. As anyone who uses the pools of Southwest Florida knows, diving off a board or from the side of a pool can be dangerous or embarrassing lespecially if one ends up belly-flopping in front of one's friendsj. Well-trained, agile, well-coordinated, graceful divers like those on North High's Diving Team are a pleasure to watch. They leave the board soaring for the clouds, execute their dives with precision and accuracy, and enter the water crisply and cleanly . . . perfect 10's in the eyes of their fans. 3 4 W' -4 - 6 . 4 iff-,.,.f HX . gr Athletics X 207
