2024 Wildwood Gators Dive Team

Dr. Tim Jones will be coaching again on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Coach Jones has a long and impressive dive history and helps us maintain our diving boards and assists our Dive Coaches in both Regular Season and City Meet preparation. We are fortunate to have his assistance. He will be assisted by Hannah Babcock again this summer.

Like last year, we will coordinate practice times with Swim Team practice between 9-11:30am Mon-Thurs. Also, to facilitate additional, individual practice, our lifeguards will allow all Dive Team Members to perform all their dives at any time during regular pool hours when wearing the designated Dive Team wrist/ankle band. Specific age group dive practice times will be detailed later.
