Diving is a popular, great fun sport that is loved by children. It's great for water confidence, improves co-ordination and flexibility, increases fitness levels, and is magical to watch as a spectator.

Our programme, based at the Royal Commonwealth Pool, follows the National Diving Award Scheme and consists of 6 progressive grades of diving. The movements are taught in a safe and fun environment to give divers an excellent foundation.

We have a wide range of classes to suit everyone. Have a look below to see the most suitable level for your child to get involved:

Beginner 1
This class is for children that have never participated in a diving lesson. They must be able to swim 15 metres without buoyancy aids and submerge without goggles.

Beginner 2
This class follows on from the Beginner 1 class. Before progressing to Beginner 2, participants will have completed Grade 1 of the ‘Learn to Dive Scheme’.

Recreational
This class is ideal for children that do not wish to commit to more than one lesson per week after accomplishing the first 3 grades at Beginner 1 and Beginner 2 level.

Diver 1
These classes offer participants who wish to progress towards more competitive diving after accomplishing the first 3 grades during the Beginner 1 and Beginner 2 classes.

Club Diver
These classes are for budding young divers who have reached competition level. Participants at this level will be invited to join the well recognised Edinburgh Diving Club. There are 8 different training squads within the club, from novice to National Squad.

Individual lessons
This is a class for anyone that would like a more individual focus. You can have up to 4 people per class, per hour.
