What class should I take to be able to dive in a swimming pool(And possibly rivers and other areas) that would be easiest for me? I'm 13, if that helps, and I wear out easily.

hey Nate, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of thyroid problems? I have thyroid concerns as well, just curious.Nate:OK, I talked to the dive shop, and they gave us a medical release form. I'll probably go to class by next year, because I'm having thyroid problems(Don't ask). I have to get a mask, snorkel, boots, and fins. Everything else, they supply. They also gave us some magazines while we were there. I'll post when I know I'll get classes.

dsaxe01:Before going all-out into diving, i would consiter getting very comftrable swimming. I was on a competitive sqim team for two years before i started diving ( i was 12 when i started, and that helped my staminia as well. I also had endurance problems, and for me, swimming was the key. I think that you need strength in your legs most, because you will be kicking so much.
