Beginning Lessons

 

Most new divers will start here. The purpose of the Beginning Lesson Program is to offer beginner divers the opportunity to break into the sport of diving at a pace that suits them. Divers will start out learning the grass-root fundamentals of springboard diving on the 1-meter springboard. We will try to introduce divers to the 3-meter springboard… if one is available.

 

The Beginning Lesson Program is a 3-Lesson Session and when divers have completed all the skills and drills in the Beginning Lessons, they will be ready to transition to the Novice Team. If a diver is not ready to transition to the next level, they may remain in the Beginning Lessons until they feel comfortable. Participants are required to fill out a K2 Diving Waiver to participate.
