After a 9th and 12th place finish in the NCAA Tournament last year, the University of Virginia Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving Teams are entering a new era. They have a new head coach in Rich MacDonald, and a new 5 meter platform.

As CBS19's Dan Schutte found out, it is more than a dip in the backyard pool.

If you are interested in the new Club Diving team, you can contact Rich MacDonald at: coachmacdonald@virginia.edu or 434-243-1152. No diving experience is necessary, but participants must be good swimmers.
