SWOOP offers three Choices for your First parachute jump!
The Tandem skydive continues to be one of the most popular methods of making a first freefall jump. With only 30 minutes of ground training, you and your highly skilled and certified Tandem Jumpmaster freefall together for 40 seconds from 10,500ft at speeds over 120mph! Tandem jumping is an excellent way to experience freefall on your very first jump, and a great introduction to sport parachuting! Advance booking is required.

Instructor Assisted Deployment
Instructor Assisted Deployment or IAD is the traditional way of making a first jump. After 5 hours of ground training, you will jump solo from 3500 feet, and your parachute is opened by your Jumpmaster after you leave the airplane. A great way for you to accomplish your first skydive and to say you did it all on your own!! Classes are held Saturday Mornings at 8:00 a.m. Advanced booking is recommended. See the Calendar for class schedules. Click here for more information on IAD jumps. Want to see photos of this type of jump - CLICK HERE!
