- Discovering Diving
- "Hey Keira...you should see how good your friend, Sydney, is at diving."
- Sydney does diving? Hmm
- "Wow she looks really good. That actually looks fun!"
- "Yes, Hello? My daughter has been interested in diving. Is there any way she can join the team?"
- The Phone Call
- "Yes of course! I know a place in Stockton that might let you dive. Let's call."
- "Yes! she can start tomorrow if that works for you!"
- "Hey mom! I think I want to try diving. Can you see if there is anywhere near us that I can dive at?"
- Time for practice (the next day)
- Wow! What a cool place! But.. I am a little nervous.
- "Hi I am here to try diving. Are you the coach?"
- "Yes! Hi you must be Keira! I am Coach Robert and I would like to show you some simple diving forms."
- "I hear you did gymnastics?" A lot of what we do relates to that sport. I think it will help with form."
- I wonder what place I will get...I think I did okay.
- My mom called me over to watch a video of a girl I knew that was trying diving as a sport. Her name was Sydney, and she was a former gymnast who decided to try diving.
- (One Month Later) First Dive Meet
- I asked my mom if she could find out if there were any dive locations near me. She found a coach named Robert at Delta Valley Diving. I was very excited when he said that I could start my first day the next day.
- Awards
- "Good job ladies!"
- Coach Robert was short and wearing a Giants ball cap. I was surprised at how friendly he was. He explained how to dive correctly by using terms I knew about shapes and form from gymnastics.
- I won!
- There is no way I just won! I have only been diving for a month! This is overwhelming!
- A month after my first practice, I had my first dive meet. We were at Capital Diving, a place in Sacramento. After competing a long couple of hours, it was almost time for a small awards ceremony. My two friends and I waited anxiously.
- Guys I am so excited for awards!! We all did amazing!
- Yeah same... I wonder when they start.
- Afterwards, they had a small awards ceremony. They called the names in reverse order, and I kept not hearing my name, and I thought I wasn't going to place. As soon as they called 4th place, my coach said, "Good job, ladies" before they even announced the rest of the places.
- What? Did we just win or did I not place at all?
- I did not think I was going to even place, until they called my name last. I had won first place after only diving for a month, and at my first meet. I won two out of my three events. When they called my name I was so proud of myself.
- "You did it!"
