Learn To Dive (Group Lessons)
3-STEP EVALUATION PROCESS |
1. SCHEDULE EVAL
When your child/athlete expresses and interest in being part of a lesson and competitive diving club, please reach out and email us to make an appointment for a free evaluation. We will do our best to schedule a diving evaluation that works with your schedule. Click below to contact us and type Claim My Free Lesson in the Subject line:
2. EVALUATION
Your child/athlete should come to the pool with a swimsuit and towel. We will evaluate your child/athlete on their actual and potential skill and ability as well as how well they listen to instruction. At the end of the evaluation, no commitment is made at that point. It is important to discuss with your child/athlete if they want to "give-it-a-go" away from the coach an in an environment that the decision is made without any pressure.
3. EMAIL
If your child/athlete wants to "give-it-a-go" - please email your child/athletes intention to start. We will then let you know if we have a spot, or if it needs to be scheduled based on a wait list.
INSTRUCTION/PRACTICE
Learn To Dive practices are 1.5 hours, with 30 minutes of conditioning before each class.
Most of our divers start out with two practice per week, and progress to multiple practices, depending upon their level of commitment, drive, ability, and coach approval. ADT coaches are highly trained professionals who use hand spotting and a TiVo video recording systems to help divers perfect the fundamentals and nuances of a dive. Most importantly, our coaches are focused on the safety and development of your diver.

This is diving...
Diving is a year round sport. Diving is not a consolation sport for those who decide not to swim. Diving is the ultimate form of grace, beauty, and athleticism. A diver must be able to perform a physically and mentally challenging act, in unison, in just 2 seconds and make it look effortless, in control, and beautiful. Diving is an individual team sport that fosters confidence, courage and a commitment to excellence. A diver will truly excel when working and competing with others on their team.
Conquering fear is something divers do every time they are on the board. When a diver smacks and has that feeling of “broken glass” pressing against their body; it means they are truly divers - pushing their mind and body to excel beyond the milk run of mediocrity. Some cry upon smacking, some just suck-it-up and some still think the redness will eventually turn to a tan ;). If you dive long enough you will become a very good diver – just how good will be up to your positive commitment, mental strength, and coaching.
