Welcome to the Skyline Sharks Dive Team!

Skyline Acres Dive Team is a member of the Denver Metro League Diving Association, consisting of  Skyline, Crestmoor Community Association, Eastmoor Swim and Tennis Club, Central Park Swim Club, and Virginia Vale Swim Club. Whether your child is a beginner or a seasoned diver, we invite them to join us for a fun and challenging summer experience. Our team works with kids ages 5-18 to improve their technique while building strong bonds with their teammates under the direction of dive coach, Daniel Purifoy. Divers work together at practices, encourage each other at meets, and have a blast at team social events throughout the summer. The competitive season runs from the first week of June to the end of July.

Goals for Summer Dive Team are to:

  • Have fun and be JAWSOME!
  • Embody and endorse our core values: Learn, Execute, Enjoy.
