The Overlee dive team will compete in Division II this summer, falling from Division I.

The realignment setup is complete for this summer’s Northern Virginia Swimming League’s diving competition, which includes four Arlington teams.

For the first time since the 2018 season, none of those four squads will be in Division I this summer, but Overlee and Donaldson Run are each in Division II. Overlee dropped from Division I last year and Donaldson Run moved up one spot.

Dominion Hills will compete in Division III, with Arlington Forest in Division VII.

The league consists of eight divisions and holds its meets on Tuesday nights. This year’s season begins with June 20 competition.

There also is a season-ending individual all-star meet on Sunday, July 30 at Oakton pool.

In those opening July 20 meets, Overlee hosts Hunt Valley, Donaldson Run entertains Hayfield Farm, Dominion Hills visits Fairfax Station and Arlington Forest hosts Orange Hunt.

Overlee visits Donaldson Run on July 27 in an all-Arlington showdown.

Donaldson Run and Dominion Hills had 3-2 records last summer. Overlee was 2-3 and Arlington Forest 0-5. Overlee won the Division I title in 2021 with a 4-1 mark.

Many NVSL teams and divers also participate in the annual Wally Martin meet on Sunday, July 9 at Oak Marr RECenter in Oakton. There is the annual Cracker Jack event on Sunday, July 16 at Ravensworth Farm pool that also attracts many of the same divers.
