Learn to Dive

Welcome to the Forest City Learn to Dive Program.

You have chosen such a unique and exciting sport for your child. Although the attraction to diving is quite often the thrill, diving incorporates:

  • Power

  • Control

  • Grace

Learn-To-Dive Philosophy

We want to introduce children to the sport of diving in a fun, active and safe environment and to develop a life-long love for the sport. The program consists of four skill levels. Skills within the level need to be learned and comfortably performed before advancing to the next level. Instruction will be on the 1m, 3m and depending on comfort, Platform diving boards.

Wrap-up mini-meet

Each season of the learn-to-dive program ends with a competition that allows your child to show off the skills they’ve learned in a low-pressure environment run by our older divers.

  • “My daughter started diving last September and is loving it. FCDC is a great club… It's a very nurturing and inclusive club. Well done FCDC! Highly recommend.”

    - Mark G.

  • "Great fun. I take the adult class (I had never dived before) and it is a great hour to do some diving and try your hand at a different type of sport. Cannot recommend it enough."

    Michael G.
