🌊 Welcome to Our Pool Sessions!

We’re excited to have you join us at the Algin Sutton Pool for a fun and engaging training session! Whether you’re a student in training, a certified diver brushing up on skills, or a freediver building comfort in the water, our pool sessions are the perfect place to practice and grow.

🏊 What to Expect at the Pool

Pool sessions are where the adventure begins! This is your chance to get hands-on with scuba or freediving in a safe, supportive environment before heading out to the ocean.

Here’s how the day usually flows:

• Arrive and meet your instructors in the parking lot.

• Set up your gear together and get a full briefing.

• Get into your wetsuit and head into the pool.

• Spend the morning practicing key skills—everything from buoyancy control to out-of-air drills—all at your own pace with instructor guidance.

• Wrap up and change into dry clothes.

💡 If you’re an Open Water 2 student, you’ll have lunch and then meet at the shop at 1:30 PM for your knowledge review and exam session.

📌 Important Notes

• Add-On: Pool sessions are part of the Open Water or Freediving course, not a standalone certification. Make sure you’ve purchased the course along with your pool session.

• Gear Pick-Up: Divers must pick up all rental gear before the pool session at the shop starting Wednesday to Friday, between 10AM to 7PM. 

• Reminders: After purchasing, your spot is reserved and you’ll receive a reminder email a few days before your session with the address, hours, and details.

• Parking: Free parking is available at Algin Sutton Pool. Follow the instructions in the email. 

• Flexibility: If you see a Saturday or Sunday without a pool session on our calendar, reach out—we may be able to add one for you.

We can’t wait to see you at Algin Sutton Pool and help you take the next step in your underwater journey! 💙
