Answer 5

Gymnastics is an amazing way to work out for diving. As you get better you will be practicing flips and twists that you need for diving. Plus it will keep you flexible and give you better posture (straight tight body, pointed toes, etc) that is need to prevent flops in diving.

I took gymnastics for a few years before I decided to do a summer diving class.  I was so much more prepared for it than the other kids were.
