Juneau Pools will offer introductory and intermediate springboard diving lessons at Dimond Park Aquatic Center in July and August. Register online (click on the Juneau Pools tab) starting Friday, June 21 at noon.

Both classes will meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings from July 9 to August 1. The introductory class meets from 6 – 6:45 p.m. and the intermediate class meets from 7 – 8 p.m. Both classes cost $80 + tax for 8 lessons, and all participants must be 8 years of age or older.

The introductory class is designed for individuals with little to no prior diving experience. Participants will learn proper diving techniques, including approach, takeoff, flight, and entry. The focus will be on building confidence and mastering basic dives.

The intermediate class is designed for divers who have mastered the basics and are ready to push their abilities further. This class will help participants learn more advanced dives.

Juneau Pools will offer a variety of swim lessons at Dimond Park Aquatic Center and Augustus G. Brown Swimming Pool during the upcoming summer season, including beginner and intermediate lessons for preschool & youth age groups.

Registrations will not be taken over the phone, in person, or in advance.

Please be aware that swimmers must meet the registration prerequisites to register for any classes beyond Level 1.
