The Tuckahoe Flying Tigers compete in NVSL Dive Division 3. We are counting on last year’s divers to return for another fun filled summer, and we are excited to welcome many new divers to our team. No experience is necessary. Kids ages 5-18 are welcome to join the team if they can jump off the board and swim to the side of the pool. Our program, as well as the NVSL, emphasizes teaching children the proper technique for safe diving and a love for the sport.
Registration for the 2019 season is HERE!
Registration Criteria
Registration is essential for insurance purposes, and must be completed before your child can dive with the team.
- Divers must be members of Tuckahoe Recreation Club in good standing
- Divers must be between the ages of five and eighteen as of June 1
- No experience is necessary; however, kids must be able to jump off the board and swim to the side of the pool unassisted
Volunteer Requirement
Each dive team family is required to volunteer four times if you have one diver or six times if you have two or more divers. Don’t worry, volunteering is fun and you get a front row seat! See our Volunteers page for more information.
