Who we are

In 1997, Amy, a 4-time NCAA diver/former level 10 gymnast, and Andy, a 1980 and 1984 Olympic diver, Kwan used their individual and educational backgrounds to create Pacific Diving. They started with 5 divers and a pool. In 2000, they opened a small diving gym in Norwalk training 40+ divers. Amy and Andy’s vision grew with developing a business plan to incorporate 2 Olympic Sports in one venue. In 2004, they opened PDA USA Sports Training Center, a non-profit organization for developing divers and gymnasts.

What we do

We work each child on an individual basis to give them the ability to reach their potential. We give children direction, desire, and determination to become successful adults in all walks of life. We strive to give all of our divers an opportunity to earn an athletic scholarship to college.
