Getting ready to try diving?

Question

My high school swim team needs a few divers, and I'm considering trying it. I took dance for several years, but quit about a year ago, so I used to be pretty flexible. I'm already a very strong swimmer. I'm going to be a sophomore next year, and have until late August before swim season starts. What could I do this summer to get ready to try diving when swim season starts? I've never been on a swim team before, so also, what can I expect at practices and meets? Thanks!!

Answer 1

Having fun is the most important part. The high school dive coach should teach you all you need but find a board over the summer and goof off for a little while and see what you can do. I would definetly try diving. its a lot of fun and dancers tend to be very good at it. also expect the meets to be a lot of fun theres lots of cheering and the team will really make you feel welcome.

Answer 2

May be you can try taking diving lessons over the summer so you know what to expect and know how to do it.
