Learn To Dive

Our learn-to-dive programme is a fun and challenging environment catering for all ages and abilities. We run sessons for both children and adults.... so there is something for everyone.

Children's Learn To Dive

We provide weekly term-time lessons for children aged six up to 16, who can swim 25m and are confident in deep water without goggles.

Our learn-to-dive programme follows a grade scheme of progressive skills, from level 1 - 10. You can download the complete list of skills below and also watch videos from each level here.

Skills start with the basics - movements, jumps and shapes from poolside - before progressing to jumps and dives from the 1, 3 and 5m boards. Children work towards one grade per term. Assessment is 'ongoing' during term. Certificates and badges for each level passed are typically awarded towards the end of term.

Overview, Times and Fees

• Beginner 1 classes are 30 minutes, working towards grade 1 or 2 (£9 per session).
• Beginner 2 classes are 30 minutes, working towards grade 3 or 4 (£9 per session).
• Intermediate classes are 45 minutes, working towards grade 5 or 6 (£12.50 per session).

If divers pass level 10 they are invited to join our Novice Squad, where they can start competing at external competitions and represent the club.

We run two internal club competitions a year - summer and winter - for all our programme. Everyone from the newest beginner to intermediate and the more advanced is encouraged to enter. It is a great opportunity to have a go at competing in a fun, friendly and relaxed environment.

Adult Sessions

We run hour-long adult classes on Mondays, from 7.45pm-8.45pm, which are £15 per session. Beginners through to seasoned masters are welcome.
