Springboard diving lessions

Question
Hi, my niece is looking for a club or any sort that gives diving lessions that's not too expensive. We're located in Suffolk County, Long Island (NY). She's has been taking lessons in school, but is looking to expand. Any ideas where I can get her some information? Thanks for your help!

The only pool I know of on Long Island is the Nassau County Aquatic Center in Eisenhower Park. It is on Merrick Ave south of Stewart Ave. Their phone number is 516-572-0501. If you go to this
website: www.nassaucountyny.gov and navigate your way to their parks system, I am sure you can find more info on this pool.

There is a team that uses this pool called Long Island Divers. The coach is George Taylor, 27 Jefferson Pl Hempstead NY 11550. Call 516-697-1678. I am sure that he has a lesson program your niece could join. I do not know what they charge for their programs.

Other diving websites include:
