⭐ All-Star Dive Meet
If you're looking to support our MHC All-Star divers and enjoy some great diving Sunday, I've attached the NVSL All-Star Dive Meet program, which includes the list of divers and event times.
👕 Division 8 Championship Merchandise
I know everyone is probably a little "merched out" after swim and dive season, but couldn't resist offering some Division 8 Championship gear!
I've attached flyers with our championship hat and sweatshirt designs.
- Hats: $28
- Sweatshirts: $40
If you're interested in ordering either item, please let me know what you'd like, and we'll place a group order. You can also click "team store" above. I'll distribute everything once it arrives.
Off-Season Diving Opportunities
We're excited to continue growing and strengthening our dive team, and there are several great options available for divers who want to keep practicing this fall and beyond.
Franconia Rec Center Sunday Lessons
One opportunity I'd especially like to highlight came from Robin Collins (Ellie's mom).
Robin suggested getting a group of MHC divers together for the Sunday 4:00 PM Advanced Recreation lesson at Franconia Rec Center.
- Registration opens: August 11

Robin also mentioned they are not overly strict on the qualifications, making this a great option for many of our divers.
