The Swim School of Boulder grew out of the passion of a few avid aquatic professionals in both the swimming and scuba diving worlds. They were intent on creating a standardized program for swim instructors, beginning with ethical standards and then moving towards specifics of teaching. Our Gold Script lesson plans allow for the advancement of the swimmer based on ability, not a schedule.

Our heated indoor dive pool is Boulder County's premier aquatic learning environment. We keep it at a comfortable 88°F, perfect for both swim lessons and scuba training. One-third is a 4' shallow end devoted to swimming and two-thirds has a 12' flat bottom conducive to scuba training. We also have private locker rooms, showers and a break room with refrigerator and microwave.

Ocean First Divers is a eco travel center, offering domestic and international dive & snorkel vacations for both individuals and the entire family. We conduct monthly open water training dives and travel to the Florida Keys year round. We also frequent Central America, the Caribbean & South Pacific. At OFD, there’s always an exotic adventure that’s right for you.
