Nate's Bell

In memory of Nate Lipscomb

Nate Lipscomb was a passionate man who fiercely loved his family, career, adventures, and his son Jackson’s diving.

Jackson Lipscomb (17) is a promising diver with the Mission Viejo Nadadores Diving team in Orange County. Jackson is a straight-A student, he trains 20+ hours per week and is on the national diving scene. Recently, Jackson verbally committed to Yale for 2024. Nate could not have been prouder of him, or more helpful to the team.

Nate was a quiet but ever-present and positive force, for both Jackson and the program. In his honor, the team will erect “Nate’s Bell” at the facility with an accompanying plaque. When a diver learns a new dive (a big deal) he/she will ring “Nate’s Bell” to let Nate and the world know of the diving success.

The team is also raising funds for two special projects:

• Video replay system for the dryland area – This will allow the team to purchase additional cameras and televisions for use in the dryland area so divers can immediately analyze their skills with video feedback. The approximate cost is $15,000.

• The “Nate Lipscomb Scholarship Fund” – This will be an endowed fund to help diving families in times of need. The fund would allow a 6-month waiver of diving fees. Proof of need would be required and three committee members, including Rosie, would meet two times a year to review applications to determine need. The approximate cost is $20,000.
