The Barracuda dive team is open to all WRC members. Westleigh has one of the few private pools in Montgomery County with competition-level diving boards. Our divers participate in Montgomery County Diving League (MCDL) meets and the entire team community has fun in social events every Friday night and in a celebratory banquet at the end of the season. Ages 4-18 years old and all skill levels are welcome (basic, unassisted swimming ability is required).

 

Please check out these frequently asked questions about the dive team, including information about meet schedules, fees, and volunteering.

Registration

Registration to the dive team is a 2-step process:

  1. Fill out the online form, or email the hard copy form to the Dive Team Reps; and
  2. Pay your registration fees through your WRC member portal, or by check (payable to “Westleigh Dive Team”) and given in person to one of the Dive Team Reps.

Try it! If you’re not sure whether diving is right for you, you can try 3 practices for $45 (includes mandatory MCDL insurance), and if you decide to join the team this amount is credited towards your dive team registration (trial divers must still register).
