Dive Lesson Overview

AFC Certificate holders and rental members can sign up for group dive lessons. These lessons are designed for those who are either new to diving, or Dive Team Members who want a little extra training.

WEEKLY sessions: 40 minutes/day, 4 days/week: Monday – Thursday, with a rain make-up day on Friday. Weekly Dive Lessons will begin June 17th for 9 weeks through August 16th. NOTE: Adults are welcome to participate in August lessons too!

Minimum Class Requirements

Participants enrolled in dive lessons MUST be able to swim the length of the pool and be comfortable in deep water.

Lesson Focus

The lessons focus on safe and correct diving technique for front and back dive, as well as other dives as deemed appropriate for individual skill level. Divers progress at their own pace to reach their individual goals. Divers who have mastered basic skills may progress to more advanced dives.

Private Dive Lessons

If the group lesson times don’t work for you, private dive lessons are also available. Scheduling and payment for these lessons is made directly with the instructor. Private lessons MUST be coordinated with the Pool Manager during normal pool operating hours and when it is not being used for other pre-scheduled AFC events. Private lessons should be scheduled for when the pool is least crowded.
