Diving

Diving participants perform acrobatic jumps, twists, flips, and tucks while plummeting through the air from springboards or platforms into a deep pool. The ultimate goal of every dive is to execute a dive of the highest degree of difficulty while making the smoothest possible entry into the pool. Competitive diving requires tremendous coordination, athleticism, and mental participation.
