Diving Classes

The J is proud to offer diving classes in Overland Park for swimmers of all ages looking to improve their dive form. We also offer lessons in a private or small group setting. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, we have a instruction level that is sure to challenge and excite you!

Diving classes are available June-August each year at our outdoor pool.

Beginner Dive Classes

Beginner Dive is for new divers. In this program divers will learn the proper approaches to diving, the different dive categories, and numbers. Divers will learn from the side and from the springboard. Participants must be able to swim 25 yards with ease, be comfortable in deep water (12ft), and tread water for at least 30 seconds.

Stay tuned for 2026 registration

J Jets Dive Team

Participants will only compete if they have mastered the required number of dives for their age bracket in competition. If your athlete does not make the dive team, lessons are offered at The J to help young divers progress to meet Dive Team standards. Tryouts are necessary in order to join the dive team.

Stay tuned for 2026 registration
