Learn-To-Dive Program

The Learn to Dive (LTD) Program is a recreational diving program designed to introduce people of all ages to the exciting sport of diving in a safe and fun environment. Divers receive step-by-step instruction from the 1 meter springboard, and as their skills advance, from the 3 metre. There is no minimum age or swimming level needed - although participants should be very comfortable repeatedly swimming in deep water during the one hour classes.

The Learn to Dive Program is offered at two locations in Ottawa, the Nepean Sportsplex and the Walter Baker Sports Centre. Sessions start in September/October, January and March at all locations with special March Break and Summer Sessions offered at the Nepean Sportsplex.

Parents are invited to discuss their child's progress by contacting the club office during regular business hours as to not disturb the flow of the diving classes. We request that parents do not try to coach their child from either the pool deck or the viewing areas. Our instructors are trained in providing a solid core base of skills to ensure safety and proper progression in the sport of diving.

The coaching staff may recommend that a diver in the recreational programs consider advancing to the Pre-Competitive or the Competitive Program. Such a transition would involve training schedules to increase as well as more commitment from the parents. If your child shows an interest in a more intensive diving program, please make this known to the coaching staff.
