Since I live in the States, I am not familiar with all the cities in your country. Here is the best I can do for you in finding lessons. Go to this website:

www.swimming.org/britishswimming.

Click on Diving and then on the menu, select 'Regional Managers'. Contact the one closest to your town and see where there are lessons near to you. Also click on 'Flip N Fun' as it sounds like the kind of program you are looking for.

Good luck and I hope the Brits win a medal at the Olympics but not beat any Yanks!
