Mike Darland taught an introduction class there, and he felt that both of us had talent. He invited us to try out his diving program in the fall, and very soon we were both “hooked” on diving.

But he was persistent and since my friends knew I could do a flip on my trampoline they forced me to do them on the board. YIKESSS!!!!!! So after that I joined my swim clubs dive team and started Whirlwind in the fall after that.
