What is the recommended age to begin springboard diving lessons?
We recommend diving lessons for students at least 7 years or older.
Are there any pre-requisites in order to sign up for diving lessons?
Yes, students must already know how to perform a standing dive, head first, from the end of the diving board.
How are classes structured?
Diving classes have up to 8 students for 60 minutes. Classes are taught evenings in four or five week sessions, two days a week on Mondays & Wednesdays.
What skills are learned in diving/pre-team lessons?
Students are taught basic skills such as forward and backward jumps and lineups, plus various basic dives depending on the ability of each student. Our ground-level trampoline is used to learn fundamental arm movements, coordination skills, and leadups used in learning new dives.
Diving Team
Diving Team Can Also Be an Option
Students are encouraged to join the diving team once they have learned the fundamentals and several basic dives. Invitation is by coaches and is based on availability.
What Does the Diving Team Include?
The diving team gives divers the opportunity to dive year round and to compete in diving meets. We attend six or more meets in Northern California each summer, two of which we host at Sherman Swim School — in August and in November. New divers will dive “Future Champions”, competing against others with similar skills. The diving team offers season rates for spring, summer, fall and winter, along with a winter dry land workout program. The Junior Olympic divers on the team travel to Regional meets and sometimes National Championships, which are usually out of state.
