RCT ‘LEARN TO DIVE’
The Rhondda Cynon Taff (RCT) ‘Learn To Dive’ program takes place only at the Sobell Leisure Centre and is a series of structured classes that provide a clear pathway for the safe introduction of diving skills.
The program covers levels 1-5 of the regional program structure. Each level in the scheme provides a well-defined set of goals and targets for the learning of the sport. This is based around key skills at every level, allowing for progressive development.
The RCT ‘Learn To Dive’ program is carefully linked to the Swim Wales National Framework for diving and is delivered by qualified coaches.
Classes are 30 minutes and managed via the Go Learn management system. This system allows parents access to the online home portal, which provides regular feedback on the child’s progress.
