Are you having trouble mastering twisters, especially forward twisters, back twisters, and reverse twisters?
If so, you're not alone. If you've been watching the latest reality diving show, "Splash," as featured on the ABC network channel, you may have noticed that one of the contestants, Canadian professional skier Rory Bushfield, struggled to learn a back flip with 1-1/2 twists prior to the synchronization competition. He got the twist pat-down, but had trouble squaring out of the somersault. Ultimately, there wasn't enough time so Rory was forced to choose another dive for the contest.

If you have the time and patience, I can teach you the necessary skills to conquer the twisters while refining your technique and mechanics.
Diving lessons available year-round on weekends at the Olney Swim Center, Martin Luther King Swim Center, and the Kennedy Shriver Aquatic Center during public hours.
