Private Diving Lessons at Five Points Washington

Private Diving Lessons

Beginner springboard diving lessons are meant to teach students the basics and safety of springboard diving. Beginner lessons are perfect for those who want to explore diving as a sport or hobby and set a strong foundation for more advanced skills.

Students do not need previous knowledge of diving or have a gymnastics background; A gymnastics background is very helpful, but not required.

During these lessons, a certified instructor will work 1-on-1 with students on panel mats and in water practicing the basic skills needed to use the springboard. This class is ideal for ages 5+.
