Open CU dive well to qualified divers

Stop allowing liability to drive CU Boulder aquatics.

Why is this important?

University of Colorado at Boulder Recreation Center has been so restrictive with regard to its diving boards, that it's preventing potential Olympic athletes from progressing. Indeed, the CU Boulder rec center has nearly transformed the dive well into the water polo well, because they are so afraid to allow access to the 3m diving boards. In the 1980s and 90s US Olympic divers were among the best. But facilities like CU need to set an example & encourage young athletes, not prevent them.
