I’M THE ONE WHO IS STAYING ACTIVE…

Dive right in! For the beginner diver wanting to explore the sport of diving. With a focus on FUN, this program will help divers develop discipline, confidence, strength, and flexibility. Each class incorporates dryland, technique and pool components.

Participation in diving starts in a  recreational program, building a base of physical and motor abilities, developing competency and movement confidence. Each athlete moves progressively upward in skills, at their own pace of learning and pathway of interest. This playful environment, is a great way for athletes to have fun and lay the foundations of a healthy, active lifestyle.

Who is this program for? Athletes with a comfort in the deep end of pool with the ability to get to the edge of the pool on their own. It is also a great starting point for kids who are interested in progressing to more advanced diving.

How does the Fundamental Program work? An important aspect of this program is to minimize the risk of failure and reward all participants for their efforts in a positive manner. All recipients receive a waterproof booklet within which they can chart their own progressions through a bronze, silver and gold stage of each of the four levels. Bronze, Silver and Gold stickers are provided and should be affixed on the appropriate certificate (one for each level) in the booklet after the student diver successfully completes each stage level. The program includes games and fun activities that teach safety and skill development.
