Underwater Dive Screen Underwater Dive Screen

Dive Screens, which are produced by the Dutch company Aquajogging de Buffel V.O.F. are products that are created in cooperation with the National Platform for Swimming Pools in the Netherlands.

The Dive Screen, can add fun and variety to swimming and diving lessons, as diving through a screen is more difficult for children then through a hoop, which is currently the standard practice in swimming schools throughout the UK. In the Netherlands the screens are used for teaching swimming, examining swimming levels of achievement and snorkelling practices.

Benefits of the dive screen, which are available in four sizes:

. For small children there are screens that can be used for shallow water practices.

. Swimming Teachers have their hands free when children are swimming under water.

. High quality synthetic fibre and stainless steel construction make for a long lasting product.

. You can standardise the practice of "dive through the hole" for the pupils as the Dive Screens are designed to be attached across a swimming lane.

Confident kids in deep water? A strong swim stroke? A safe and happy learning experience? The KS Teaching Platform provides the perfect answer...

The Kirby Swim Teaching Platform is a safe and secure 'stage' designed for children not yet tall enough to stand on the pool floor.

The Kirby Swim Teaching Platform's non-slip surface helps children, teachers and parents feel safe, comfortable and confident.

Enables all important eye contact between teacher and pupil.

Build to suit any pool depth.

Two platforms can be interlocked to form one long teaching platform.

The unique handrail design creates a clear distinction between teaching areas.

Removable handrails make KS Teaching Platforms stackable for easy storage.

Fits between standard width pool lanes and is quick and easy to install and remove.

For easy transportation to and from the pool area the KS Teaching Platform is fitted with wheels that engage when lifted at an angle of more than 30 degrees.

Built from tough, chlorine resistant, reinforced materials, Kirby Swim products are built to last.

Please note: For safety reasons, should you wish to place the KS Teaching Platform in water depth of 2m or more, it is necessary to interlock two platforms to increase weight and enable the platforms to grip the pool floor effectively.

An additional assembly will be necessary if you plan to use the KS Teaching Platforms in depths of 2m or more.

Please note: For safety reasons we recommend the standard build Turnmaster PRO bulkhead be situated in a water depth of no less than 1100mm.

With this in mind the Turnmaster PRO bulkhead can be built to fit your specific needs, please contact the STA for further details.
