$90.00 residents / $100 non-residents
All participants must be able to swim one length of the pool, and do a standing dive from the board.
Divers can have little or no experience. New divers will focus on very basic dives, as well as the approach and hurdle.
Experienced divers will be adding new dives and more difficulty to their skills.
Proper placement of your swimmer is very important. At each level your child should be challenged, but not
overwhelmed. There are specific minimum skills that your child should possess on the first day of their class. If they are
unable to complete them, they will be moved to a lower level if there is space available, or credited for a future
session. If you are unsure at what level to enroll your children, please ask at the time of registration.
