2011-12 WEST BLOOMFIELD BOYS SWIMMING & DIVING - FACT SHEET

Boys Swimming and Diving is a winter sport.  Practice always begins the Monday before Thanksgiving.

To see the exact date that practice begins during a given season, refer to the schedule posted on the website.

It is important to remember that we do conduct practices during Thanksgiving weekend, and Winter break!

Please try and avoid any conflicts so that you can attend practices during these time periods.

Our team competes in the Oakland Activities Association.  For the upcoming season we will be in the White Division.

Other teams in our division include:  Harrison-Farmington, Berkley, Stoney Creek, Andover, Rochester, and Adams.

For most team members, the season runs until late February.

It culminates with the Division Championship Meet.  Those swimmers and divers who qualify for the State Meet,

will finish their season two weeks later.  The State Meet is always the second weekend in March.

Anyone is welcome to try out for team, regardless of previous experience.

Coming into the program with previous experience gives you a definite advantage.  Also located on the website

is information about Summer Conditioning offered through the WB Community Education program.  To enhance

your performance, you need to be active and train during the off season.  All team members and prospective

candidates are encouraged to enroll in this program.

The divers are a separate group of athletes within the program.  Diving is one of the 12 events in a swimming meet.

The diving team is coached by a separate person and has their own practice schedule.  Again, having some previous

experience is not necessary to try out, but it does give you a definite advantage.  If you are interested in diving,

contact the Diving Coach to see about requirements and summer diving camp.  His email is listed below.

To make sure you are always getting the information you need, check the website often.

You may also contact the coaches if you have questions about the program.
