Our Blugold Swimming and Diving team is dedicated to building excellence at every skill level in the pool for both swimmers and divers. Our coaches are passionate about the sport and have decades of coaching on their side. Lessons will teach fundamentals and advanced skills along with swimming and diving safety. Kids will have fun in the water and build on their skills at the same time. Swim/Dive lessons will be taught by our athletes in the Fall and the Spring. Other lessons will be lead by our amazing coaching staff.

We will also host clinics for both diving and swimming specifically throughout the summer and periodically in the school year. Below is listed what we currently have scheduled.
