Lessons and practices are held at the Fountain Valley School, the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), and occasionally at Colorado College and the Cheyenne Mountain Aquatics Center. The USAFA Natatorium is one of best diving facilities in the country with two 1-meter springboards, two 3-meter springboards, and 1m, 5m, 7.5m, and 10m platforms. We also use the dryland training room at USAFA for dryland and dryboard training before lessons and practices.
