The Matt Dishman Swimming Pool hosts the only year-round springboard diving lesson program in the city of Portland!

Classes are held on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons.  Each lesson session lasts for 9 - 10 weeks.  There are four sessions a year, covering all four seasons.  Currently, three levels are taught, with a fourth to be added soon.


Level 1 - focuses on dive positions, body control, jumping forwards and backwards and head first dives

Level 2 - builds on level 1 skills by adding controlled approaches, front dives and back dives

Level 3 - after a solid foundation built in level 1 and 2, level 3 divers learn how to add height and position control to their front and back dives

Level 4 - introduces advanced dives, including flips and inward dives, and focuses on improving upon already learned position dives


After four levels are achieved, divers are encouraged to consider joining the Tualatin Hills Dive Club in Beaverton, OR.  THDC is Oregon and SW Washington's only nationally competitive springboard and platform dive team!  Team members compete in Junior Olympic level competition and have even gone on to compete in college and the Olympics!
