The 2009 USA Diving Spring National Championships, sponsored by Speedo, begin today in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I found this thumbnail picture of the Hall of Fame pool on Flickr. It’s a nice change from the traditional picture (open in new window) that is used over and over and over…

You can obviously read more about the event on USADiving.org, but if you want to join the 21st century, you can also become a fan of USA Diving on Facebook and RSVP to the event. Sara Hildebrand, Drew Livingston, Hayden Jones, and Christina Loukas are already listed as attending.

Who else can you expect to see at the meet? The Facebook event name-drops a list of athletes who will be competing:

2009 World Championship team members Brittany Viola (Orlando, Fla.) of the University of Miami, Nick McCrory (Chapel Hill, N.C.), Allison Brennan (Huntington Beach, Calif.), and Kristian Ipsen (Clayton, Calif.). Divers defending their 2008 Spring Nationals 1-meter titles, Victoria Ishimatsu (Seal Beach, Calif.) and Ryan Helms (Moultrie, Ga.) are also scheduled to attend.

Meet results will be posted on DiveMeets.com, and you can check the full list of entries here.
