Where can I get Diving Lessons? ?

Question

After watching the Olympics and deciding that diving is my favorite sport, I realized that I want to start diving. I want to do what they do, and I do want to go to the Olympics. I was discouraged when I heard that I could be too old to start, but I heard that a woman that is now in the Beijing games started when she was my age. I really enjoy the sport and I want to do it..I just dont want to regret that I didnt follow a dream I have.....so my question is...where can I start training? I dont know where to begin...........What is the whole Olympic Process?

Answer 1

First, you need to live near a place where you can train. Unless you live in a large city and or attend a university, you have almost no chance. Most local pools do not have the diving boards and pool depth you need. You also need a coach.

You need money to pay for the coach, lessons, and any practice time you may require at an Olympic-sized aquatic center. There are teams you can join but most are not diving teams. Go through a university.
