MAC Dive Club
For those who have completed our learn to dive programme, you may be referred to join the MAC dive club. The club trains at the centre and even offers lessons to adults looking to learn a new skill.
When the MAC first opened, Head Coach Jan Isherwood put together a dive programme in partnership with the centre and as this developed over the years the club was formed.
MAC Dive team has members of all ages who are coached to the highest level. Over the years the diving club has had great success in many competitions and has affiliations to the Great British Diving Federation and the Amatuer Swimming Association.
We've missed them while we've been closed for refurbishment and are delighted to be welcoming them back!
