dive lessons

Question
My 12 year old fell in love with competitive diving this summer at Midlakes. She came in 3rd of the A divers her age.  We live on Mercer Island and I really do not feel like heading to KCAC several times a week-- does anybody give lessons or anything close to the island during the winter so she can keep it up or is PNW diving all there is?   Thanks!

One of the Pacific NW diving coaches runs a program during the school year (Sept - May) on Mercer Island at one the Midlakes country clubs. I do not know the name of it, but it is the one that puts up an inflatable bubble over the pool.Her name is Patti Southerland and she does a program for kids your daughters age and older.You can reach her at her e-mail: [email protected]. She only takes a certain number of divers so make sure she knows you are interested.
