Answer 1

jump as high as you can and tuck urself foward

Answer 2

first try a front dive tuck looks like this:

then once you have that just hold on and you'll have a good front flip. your problem also might be that you're not holding on to your tuck long enough. try doing a front flip on the trampoline then do it on the diving board. your front flip should also start like a jump. jump the higest you can and do not throw your head down. if you do this your hips will scoot backwards towards the board which is not good. i suggest picking a point at the end of the pool and try to look at that the longest you can
