The JO Group is by the head coach’s invitation only.
DEVELOPMENTAL LEVEL PROGRAM
Divers invited into the Developmental program (Level 1-4) are placed based on athletic ability and competitive potential. Divers in these groups participate in local competitions as well as regional, and zone competitions if qualified.
RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS
Learn to Dive (LTD) diving camp is for those new to the sport or those divers who have completed the camp and would like to continue diving but are either not interested in or ready for the developmental level groups. Its focus is to allow divers to enjoy the sport of diving while divers continue to work on building the foundational skills needed for higher-level diving.
The total cost is due at the first class of the session. If a diver cannot attend all classes, the program cost is still expected in full. However, a make-up class will be scheduled if a class is canceled.
