Kelly knew at a young age that she wasn't good at tennis or lacrosse so she took up diving. Her parents supported her sport and she did quite well at it. She liked the attention and enjoyed winning awards and trophies for her efforts. Her family came to every meet and her father never even missed a practice session. Another member of the swim team, Emelyn Wampler, began to advance past Kelly. She was able to do a reverse in layout. George encouraged Kelly to start practicing the dive. With George at her side, Kelly was able to master a reverse in pike which was more difficult than Emelyn's reverse in layout. Kelly always remembered her father's love and support.
