BWH Dive 2026
Hello dive team families! We are extremely excited for this season and can’t wait for it to start! Diving is a great sport, especially for kids. It is a ton of fun and teaches you great lessons of discipline, confidence, overcoming fears, and the importance of teamwork. It is 100% safe for all ages, and all of our coaches started very young and have great experience. We will keep your children safe and having fun all season! We would love to add more divers to the roster, so please encourage your friends to register. (Prospective divers are welcome to stop by and check out a practice before registering.)
2026 DIVE TEAM COACHES
McKinlee Taulbee, Head Coach
Hello!! My name is McKinlee Taulbee and I am super excited to be coaching for my 4th year at BWH this season! I am currently a rising senior at Georgia Southern University majoring in Human Development and Family Science studying to become a Child Life Specialist! I began my diving career in 5th grade for Atlanta Diving Association and have been doing it ever since! Aside from club, I also dove for South Forsyth High School for my freshman and sophomore years, and at Buford High School for my junior and senior years. During my high school career I set the record for the 6 dive event at both schools and finished in the top 10 at state every year. I am now super blessed to have the opportunity to be continuing my diving career at the division one level at Georgia Southern University! Here I have been a 4x SunBelt A finalist and a 2x NCAA Zones qualifier! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out any time! My phone number is: 470-208-8328 or I can be reached at the email [email protected]! I am super excited for what this season has ahead and Go Bullfrogs!!
Emmy Loft, Assistant Coach
Hi! My name is Emmy Loft and I am a rising senior at North Atlanta High School. I began diving at Brookwood Hills as a child and fell in love with the sport there at a young age. I dive both at Atlanta Diving Association and as varsity co-captain at my high school, where I qualified for state for the past two years and placed top three in the APS Championship all three years. I am also a former competitive gymnast and worlds-level cheerleader at Stingray Allstars, and I compete on the varsity gymnastics team at North Atlanta. I am so excited to coach this summer and I look forward to meeting everyone who I don't already know! I can be reached at 404-395-5305 or by email at [email protected]. Go Bullfrogs!
PRACTICE
Our practices work in coordination with swim team. There are no age group specific times, practices are relaxed and we recommend divers try to come to as many practices as possible.
2026 Practice Schedule is below:
May (until Memorial Day): Practices will begin on Monday May 4th!
Monday - Thursday - 4:30pm - 6:30pm
May 26th- until division championships:
Monday, Tuesday & Thursday - 3:30-5:30pm
Wednesday - Meet Day!
Friday 9-11 am
2026 Dive Meets: (NOW AVAILABLE)
Meets: Our meets are generally held every Wednesday evening in late May/June. Dive meets are much shorter and more relaxed than swim meets. Warm ups usually start around 4pm and the whole meet is usually over by 8 or 9pm. Meets do go in age group order, starting with 6 and under, so younger divers will be done significantly earlier. We have five meets and City Championships, which are held at Georgia Tech. Championships are a great opportunity for kids to be exposed to an Olympic pool!

Meet 1 (HOME): Rescheduled for Monday, June 1 vs Garden Hills (so really our second meet)

Volunteers:
The Greater Atlanta Diving League will host a Judges Clinic. This will be the morning of Sunday, May 17th at Wynterhall. We would love to get some parents certified to judge. Please reach out to Sara Loft ([email protected]) or the coaches if you are available and willing. It's a great way to learn more about the sport of diving!
