You’re Fearless!

The Coate and Quinlivan brothers arrive at the PBG Aquatic Complex for the day. First order of business? Take the assigned swim test where lifeguards judge your swimming skills and award you a coveted wristband. That band is your ticket to ride and dive on several more advanced apparatuses at the pool.

Once their wristbands were in place, the boys headed straight for the diving board.

“I thought it was pretty easy”, Caden Quinlivan says of the swim test. “I wasn’t nervous, because I did it before.”

Once at on the diving board, sometimes best laid plans go out the window. The adrenaline begins to rush and, suddenly, that dive well looks pretty deep. The pressure is on and all of your friends are watching you.

“I was nervous on the diving board,” admits nine-year-old Brooks Coate. “I dived more forward and did a back flop.”
