New Program! Human Springs
Human Springs Programs are designed to give divers of all ages and abilities an opportunity to learn this amazing sport at their own pace. Click below to download detailed information. Human Springs Lessons are designed for absolute beginners, very young divers (5-7 years old) and divers with diagnosed attention issues. Each lesson is 45 minutes long. Human Springs Team picks up right where summer diving programs leave off. We take the fun of your summer diving teams, and throw in world class instructors and the best training equipment around. The result is an opportunity for divers to keep on improving during the school year and come back in the summer with all new skills. Divers on the Human Springs Team will have the option of participating in competitions created just for them, and travel to pools around Maryland and Virginia to show their skills.

A Message from New MDC Program Director Doug Beavers
It is with a mixture of anticipation and humility that I introduce myself as the new Director of Diving Programs for the Montgomery County Recreation Department. Since 1989 the Montgomery Dive Club has built a reputation for competitive excellence in USA Diving. This reputation was the result of the talent, hard work and dedication of many fine coaches and divers. So when I learned that I would be taking over beginning this fall, I was honored by the opportunity and humbled by the high competitive standards that have been set before me. My approach to building a diving program is to begin with a clear purpose. Our purpose is to grow and improve the County’s diving programs. We will grow the program by setting a goal of creating the best developmental diving program in the country. We will offer programs that integrate with and complement existing summer diving organizations like the MCDL, NVSL, CCSDA, and CMDL. This will be a new offering from MDC with its own identity, known as the Human Springs. We will further improve by bringing in new staff members, leveraging technology, making better use of existing tools like trampoline and water belts, creating a positive, highly collaborative coaching and training atmosphere, and establishing clear communications and policies.
