Where Can I Start?
Question
Hi, I'm 14 years old, and I've recently been watching the Olympics in Beijing, and saw the springboard diving. I thought it looked interesting, so I have been looking for places to take lessons. I haven't been able to find any places near where I live, which is about 1 1/2-2 hours north of Philadelphia, PA. If anybody knows any good places near this area, I would love to know. Thanks!
