The Programs :
LEARN TRAMPOLINE AND SPRINGBOARD DIVING
The objectives of the Learn Trampoline and Springboard Diving program are fun, safety and skill development. There are three levels in the Learn To Dive lesson program. Many prerequisite skills are learned on the trampoline along with the diving skills which must be learned before joining our competitive programs.
Each diver will receive a certificate at the end of the session illustrating which skills have been learned. At the end of each session a fun meet is held were our new divers can compete with others in their age and skill level for fun and prizes. You can head off to the lake and be confident your child will know that safety first is the best practice when having fun.
