Diving coach, John Ricci, will conduct a diving instruction program scheduled to start on June 8 at Derry Township Recreation Center pool on Cocoa Avenue, Hershey.
This program will run through mid-august. Instruction will be provided in the pool on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Separate trampoline sessions will run on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
This program is designed for participants age 8 to 18 to learn the fundamentals of springboard diving. *No experience is necessary, but participants must be able to swim the width of the deep end of the pool. The program will include: stretching/flexibility basics, strength development activities, and drills designed to learn and improve the forward and backward takeoffs. The goal of the program is to equip participants with the skills to perform the very basic dives and progress to more complex dives, ability permitting.
Sign up for the pool portion of the program should be done through Derry Township Recreation Center. (make sure you specify the program run by Coach Ricci). Registration for the trampoline sessions should be done directly with Coach Ricci.
