[quote=Anonymous]Our club required our coach to certify that the child could safely dive from the block before the club would let the swimmer dive from the blocks at a meet. Kids can always dive from the side. My daughter was scared to death, though, when she was 7, so we had a few private sessions with our coach, who basically had her step up and down first, and then had her dive in over and over. It still took a few more meets for her to get up the courage to do it. (Dulles South blocks are so high, and we had lots of meets there in 8 and under.) But don’t sweat it. None of them dive particularly well off the blocks when they are 7-8, so it doesn’t give a terribly big advantage, if any at all.[/quote]
