Spring Training Program

The Spring Diving session provides maintenance training and is coached by Kelly McGuiggan. Practices are held in Prior Lake at Hidden Oaks Middle School.Practice is generally two times per week from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (occasionally three times to make up for busy weeks at Hidden Oaks). You're welcome to attend all practices offered.

  • The session starts on April 12 and continues for 8 weeks.
  • You must register with USA Diving prior to the first practice. Please see the Registration page. If you dove this summer, you need to complete this again. The lowest level membership is just fine.
  • Please bring payment and the completed registration form to practice on the first night.

 

Summer Training Programs:

We will be offering both an Intermediate and Advanced Diving program this summer.  The Intermediate divers will pick 2 times per week to practice and the Advanced divers may come 4+ times a week.  Practice times will be M-Th in the afternoon and Tues and Thurs in the morning.  Tuesday and Thursday you will have the option of going in the morning or afternoon.

We will attempt to attend a meet this summer or at the least have a fun in house meet for everyone!

We will be offering online registration this summer.  If you have any questions about this process please ask.

Remember you will need to sign up with USA Diving prior to the first day in order to participate.
