Can't dive into a pool!?

Question

so by the end of the summer I want to be able to dive into a pool- but I don't know how... so:

1. type how to dive, and many diffrent forms

2. get a picture of what to do off a diving bored step by step (I am not going to use a diving bored first though that would be to hard)

3. get a video that instructs you how to dive

4. any extra info you'd like to add

if you can follow the first 3 and maybe 4th step then theres 10 points in it for you ^_^ I will read each one :P

Answer 1

The best way to learn how to dive, is to follow these steps:

Make sure the water is deep enough and no one is swimming in the general area. Place both your feet over the edge of the pool.  Slightly bend your knees, keeping your back straight and angeled towards the water. Make sure both arms are locked and stretched out by your ears. Roll into the pool using your feet to propel your body away from the edge of the pool. Keep both arms in the locked position and your chin to your chest. Swim to the safest exit. If you end up doing a belly flop the first couple times, that's ok... it takes practice. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

its really easier if you have a friend or lifegaurd or family member or coach teach you how to dive. because they're right there and can show you what you're doing wrong. it took me so long to learn how to dive, but i finally got it and i'm really good at it. the best advice i can give is stand on the edge of a deep pool and bend like you're going to dive, keep your head down the whole time and just push off and dive. the number one thing you have to remember is to keep your head down...thats normally why most people can't dive.

Answer 3

usually you go up to the edge and jump in the general direction of the water
