Take the Plunge! Add some excitement to your life and Learn-to-Dive!
Whether you just want to have fun and learn some new skills or whether you have your sights set
on a future Olympic Games, our learn-to-dive program is the first step.
The Forest City Diving Club's Learn to Dive (LTD) Program is a recreational diving program designed to introduce
novices of any age to the enjoyment of sport of diving in a fun and safe environment. Divers receive step-by-
step instruction in Olympic diving form and technique from the 1 and 3 metre springboards, and where appropriate
from the tower complex.
There is no set minimum age or swimming level prerequisite - although participants should be comfortable swimming in deep water. Depending upon their maturity and physical
conditioning, children as young as 5 and 6 years old have done exceedingly well in our programs.
In 2009 - 2010, we are offering (1) a fall session starting in mid-September and running until December;
(2) a winter session starting in early January and continuing until April; and (3) a spring session starting in April and
running until June.
Each session is between 8 & 12 weeks in length and, for your convenience, we offer classes every day of the week, including Sundays.
All of our coaches are specially trained and qualified to provide instruction in proper Olympic
diving form and techniques. Parents are invited to discuss their child’s progress with the
coaching staff before or after scheduled dive times. We ask that all parents read and
comply with the parents' code of conduct, prepared by our
governing body, Diving Plongeon Canada. Specifically, we request that you do not try
to coach your child either from the pool deck or the viewing areas.
In appropriate circumstances, the coaching staff may recommend that a diver in the recreational LTD program
consider advancing to the pre-competitive program. Such a transition would involve training more often and
more intensely and will accelerate the diver's progress. If your child is interested in a more intensive
diving program, please make this known to the coaching staff.
For more information please contact our head coach, Ioana Marinescu at (519) 872-9799 or any other member
of the executive.
Discipline. The coach has full responsibility for and complete authority over all
activities on the pool deck and at any dryland training programs offered by the FCDC.
The coach has the right to remove a diver from any such program and to suspend diving privileges
to ensure the safety of the diver or others. There will be no reduction in fees as a result
of any removal or suspension of a diver.
