Diving for Gunston in the Co. Championship Meet

About Middle School Diving

Arlington County is one of the few counties that offers interscholastic competition for Middle Schools, and we are fortunate that we have the facilities to include swimming and diving in those competitions.

For those of you who are new to the sport of diving, here is a brief introduction to what it's all about.

In our diving program, divers compete four dives in each meet. A forward dive and a back dive are required dives. The diver must choose two more dives from any category, but cannot repeat a dive. We have 4 dual meets per team and each team may dive a total of 8 divers (usually 4 boys and 4 girls). There are four teams at each meet and during the meet, all of the girls dive together and all of the boys dive together but are only competing against their scheduled opponent. A diver must compete in at least two meets to be eligible for the County Championship meet held at the end of the season with all schools being represented.

This year we have added a developmental meet for those divers who have not yet achieved a four dive list or have not competed in 2 regular dual meets.

Scroll down for a more in depth explanation of the sport.

There are five categories of dives. The forward, back, reverse (sometimes referred to as a gainer), inward and twisting. The dives are rated on difficulty and given a degree of difficulty value (DD). This "DD" is used to calculate the total award given to each dive. When a diver performs a dive, the judges rate that dive on the following criteria, the run (or approach), the take off, the execution of the dive in the air and the entry. The dives are performed in the tuck, pike or straight or free positions.

The forward category (100) includes the front dive and front somersaults. The back category (200) includes the back dive and back somersaults. The reverse (sometimes referred to as a gainer) category (300) includes the reverse dive and reverse somersaults. The inward category (400) includes the inward dive and inward somersaults. The twisting category (5000) includes all dives that are done with twists.

For example, a forward dive would be a 101, a forward somersault would be a 102, a forward 1 1/2 somersault would be a 103 and so on. If the dive is done with a twist, there would be a 5 at the beginning, the next number would indicate the direction (forward 1, back 2, reverse 3 and inward 4), the third number indicates a dive (1), a somersault (2), 1 1/2 somersault (3) and a double somersault (4). The final number indicates the twists to be done, 1/2 twist (1), full twist (2), 1 1/2 twist (3) and two twist (4). A twisting(5) forward (1) somersault (2) done with a full twist (2), would be a 5122.

When a diver performs a dive, the judges rate that dive on the following criteria, the run, or approach, the take off, the execution of the dive in the air and the entry.

The run should be smooth and graceful, ending with a hurdle(the maneuver in which the diver jumps from one foot and lands at the end of the board on both feet simultaneously).

The take off should be with both feet leaving the board simultaneously, upright, forceful and balanced.

The execution of the dive should be elevated, smooth, graceful and without a break in position.

The entry into the water should be vertical with the legs together, hands at the side on feet first entries and extended over the head on head first entries, body straight and with minimal splash.

1/2-2 unsatisfactory

2 1/2-4 deficient

4 1/2-5 1/2 satisfactory

6-7 1/2 good

8-9 1/2 very good

10 flawless

With a 3 judge panel, all scores are kept, with a 5 judge panel the high and low scores are eliminated. The judges scores are then added together and multiplied by the DD to calculate the final award for the dive.

Team points are awarded as follows: lst place 6 points, 2nd-5, 3rd-4, 4th- 3, 5th-2 and 6th-1.

Each dive is judged on it's individual merit without regard to difficulty. The scores given a dive are as follows;

the dive was not completed (the feet enter the water before the hands or head on a feet first entry, the hands or head enter the water first on a feet first entry or the twist was not within 90 degrees of the announced number of twists by the time the diver's body was 1/2 way into the water)

Even if you are not diving in the meet, come and cheer for your team mates.
