Where to learn

Question
I'm 15 and know that I want to learn how to dive. I live in Renton and my high school doesn't have a dive team- I'm on the swim team now. I've had 10 years of ballet experience, and would love to learn how to dive. Can you tell me where I can learn to dive close to home?

Ask Coy Jones the pool manager at the Renton pool. He may know somewhere close to your school where you can learn to dive.

Also try Mike Fahrenbach, coach at Juanita H.S. in Kirkland. He gives lessons at his pool. e-mail: [email protected].

The best place to dive is at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way with the Pacific Northwest Diving Team.It may be far to go but the pool is the one of the best in the US. e-mail

There are more places to dive in your area but only in the summer with teams that belong to the Midlakes Summer Diving League.

Good luck with your search.
