You're never too old to try something new!
Ready to dive in?
Open to members and non-members. Book via the ASV app or at reception! Lessons take place every Thursday from 19:00 — 20:00
All abilities welcome!
Our Adult Learn to Dive programme caters for all levels of ability, from complete beginners looking to try out a new sport and build their confidence to those who have dived before and wish to develop their technique.
The coaches provide opportunities for all adults to participate in diving at whatever level they aspire to.
Beginner Divers
Entry criteria:
- Able to swim 10 metres unaided, competently in deep water
- Able to jump and submerge in deep water without goggles
Our weekly adult diving class is designed to cater to all ability levels, especially those with little to no diving experience who are confident in deep water. Under the guidance of our qualified diving coaches, participants will build confidence and learn fundamental diving skills.
Starting with poolside techniques and low board work, beginners will be introduced to diving shapes, hand grabs, and feet-first jumps. As confidence grows, participants will explore the 1m and 3m springboards and forward hand-first entries.
Experienced Divers
Once you’ve learned the fundamentals and are confident going hands-first in a forward direction, we’ll continue your progression by introducing the other three dive directions. This includes backwards dives, followed by inward and reverse skills.
As you progress, you can challenge yourself at your own pace, working towards more advanced and complex techniques. Some divers aim to develop higher-level skills, while others simply enjoy participating and staying active. Everyone is welcome.
