Small team prepares to make a splash 

This season, the diving team consists of two seniors: friends Clarise Sviatko and Jamie Bulzomi. The divers are currently being coached by Hattie Carlson, the swim coach. In previous seasons, the divers have a separate coach, Carlson will be coaching the small team until a diving coach is found.

Carlson said, “I am excited to try something new. I have been around around it for over 20 years and I have seen diving throughout my time swimming, and I am definitely excited to coach it.”

Sviatko has been diving for four years, and Bulzomi will be diving for her first year in the 2018-2019 season. Sviatko said, “Now diving and swimming are together as one because before we were split up. Now that Hattie is coaching us, the team is more united.”

Bulzomi said, “It is my senior year and I just wanted to try new things. I will probably go out for tennis for the first year, too.”

Divers have meets at the same time as swimmers. Usually, the meets are structured so that swimmers compete for half of the events, then diving competes, followed again by the final swimming events.
