Children

7 - 17 years

Classes

The objective of our classes is to give each diver a solid grounding in basic diving movements as a stable foundation for progression onto more complicated dives.

This involves plenty of repetition and work on both poolside and, increasingly, on the boards as we seek to build up skill levels. We follow the Swim England Diving Award Scheme.

Progression

Please be aware that children will progress at different rates. This is perfectly normal. Our highly experienced coaches will monitor their development and provide plenty of help and feedback. All our coaches can recommend progressing divers who have reached the grade requirements, subject to the agreement of the head coach. There are certificates and badges for each grade achieved.

Please Note

Children 7+ are welcome providing they can swim two widths confidently in deep water, without goggles, and are comfortable jumping or diving in headfirst.

Children must be enthusiastic, well-behaved and ready to learn diving skills. For everyone’s safety and welfare, they are required to follow the coaches’ instructions at all times.
