 Active Nation Diving Programme Lesson Schemes

The Quays offers a wide selection of diving opportunities to children from the age of six, teenagers and adults of all ages.

Diving Tasters

Active Nation offer children the opportunity to take part in a free half hour diving lesson at the Quays.
 
Participating children should be aged between 6 and 13 years and will need to be able to swim at least 25m unaided and to be confident in deep water. Additionally, there will be two sessions for teenagers aged 14 - 17 years.
 
Each session will last for 30 minutes and children will be taught in groups of up to 8 by qualified coaches from the Southampton Diving Academy. Every child who takes part in the scheme will receive a certificate of participation.

Childrens Lessons

The Quays offer diving courses each half term. Each lesson lasts 30 minutes. The children have the opportunity to particpate in the ASA award scheme, which is designed to give pupils an early introduction to diving skills. It will provide underwater confidence, body awareness and develop skills for springing, preparing the diver to progress to advanced skills. These progressive Awards are designed to reward the young diver from preliminary, through to complex dives from the 3m springboard and 5m platform.
 
We are offering weekday lessons during term time for children aged 6 - 13 years. During the School holidays there will also be crash courses and one-off practice sessions available.
 
Lessons for teenagers aged 14 - 17 will be held at 8.15 – 9.00pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings during term time.
 
If you have any questions about the scheme, please contact Annie Clewlow on 023 8072 0922 / 07910 300232 or email annie.clewlow@activenation.org.uk.
