Events
rip/SMACK!
Any meet can have a rip contest, but at the BIG DIVE we have the rip/SMACK!! Participating divers enter the biggest dive they think they can rip and the biggest dive they are willing to smack and are judged, not on the dive but how well they ripped or smacked. Degree of Difficulty counts, so go BIG!

Synchro
New this year, we will include a synchro event where teams must compete two dives on each level (1m, 3m and platform) and cover all directions (including armstand – platform only). Teams may be any age, either gender or both. Registration will be taken on deck before the event.

FINA groups
All FINA events will be run in accordance with AAU rules the BIG DIVE Every diver in the meet is automatically entered into our BIG DIVE contest! The winner is the individual with the highest scoring dive in each FINA age-group, performed on any level.

All practice times will be non-flighted and open to all teams. At the BIG DIVE we encourage collaboration among the teams and coaches. With so many teams using the pool at once, we also encourage a sense of responsibility and citizenship. Pick-up after yourself, pick-up after others and try to leave each area a little better then when you found it. Please restrict your locker room use to those on the west side of the building (1m side). In the event the meet numbers merit, we will flight the Saturday and Sunday morning warm-ups. This will be decided at the Friday afternoon coaches meeting.
