Diving help me!!!!!?

Question

i can dive but for some reason only sometimes

i don't get how u jump and dive on the diving board either i just dive not jump and dive

Answer 1

first thing u do is put your hands together then up in the air then bring them down to ur knees then when u jump into the water make sure your hands go in the water b4 your head

Answer 2

Point your forehead with your body following it at the water when you're at the height of the jump.

Answer 3

i used to dive competitively, and i found that after you jump on the end of the board line yourself up like you would if you were to jump into a handstand and make sure that you are straight by keeping your muscles tight, squeeze your ears with your arms (helps to line your shoulders and head up) and pointing your toes.

if you are trying it with a jump, when you do jump make sure that you reach up with your arms and try as if you are touching the sky. make sure to keep your head up and not to stare at the water because you will go where you look, so as you jump look up.

i hope that makes sense

Answer 4

Answer 7

what is the fulcrom set on?

You need to find a setting that is for your weight so you get the right "boing" amount.

Are you on a team? Can you adjust it yourself? do you know how?

take practice jumps on the board itself

1 you need to start by finding your starting place on the board.

it may seem akward at first but its the only way how!

2 take 3 good steady paces starting with left leg if right handed and left if right handed.

if you are stopped at a line on the board or see that there is a good foot more you found youre perfect spot.

If you are at the end of the board or in the water or not even close to the end you need to adjust until you pace yourself like this:

im a righty so ill use my example:

Stand at spot. eyes focused on marked location on springboard (foot before ending of board)

begin L foot first R foot then AS LEFT goes down bring right up high like skipping but then bring together like in hopscotch.... understand?

check out the videos at Expertvillage.com and they have step by step vids that are #1 look in (spring board diving techniques)

Answer 8

is it a thing of fear? I dive alot I love bridge jumping and standard diving board. all you do is walk down the board give a little jump first and when you land the board will bend down just wait for it to come up and when it feels right give a jump and that will be the best. Never double jump as it will lead to an accident. click me for best answer

Answer 9

Try doing a somersault before your dive. I see a lot of people doing that.

Good luck! ;*)

Answer 10

Okay, you dive into water you cannt get hurt in water remember that!

Next, point your toes and act like you want your head to hit the bottom of the pool that will help you dive.
