All about Diving
Diving is a sport in which athletes jump or dive from a platform or springboard, performing twists and somersaults before entering the water.
Judges score divers on difficulty and execution.
They perform twists and somersaults in the air and enter the water as smoothly as possible.
Divers train for many years to build strength, control and body awareness. Safety is important, and divers practise in pools with lifeguards nearby.
