What's easier swimming or diving?

Question

ok so i'm going to be doing either competive swimming or diving but idk which one to do so i was just wondering what are some the big differences between swimming and diving and does what you do depend on your body type so if any one can help! also which would you consider to be a lil easier?

thanks so much!!

Answer 1

It all depends on personal preference.....i love swimming i'm good at it so that makes it fun gotten awesome awards like 5th in nationals 1rst in districts and 2nd in states...i said that because that shows its best parts and there is more and the traveling is great but it took me years and years to get there.. so swimming takes tons of hard work and diving does too but i bet it is a bit less tiring.......

i mean u could definitely show off to ur friends with diving and swimming they think ur fast.....so you choose which ever one you want

Answer 2

I've never tried diving, only swimming. I think it really all depends on if you are an acrobat, or have good stamina. Whichever you feel is right to you.

Answer 6

Easier? That's subjective.

Swimming would be better for you if you have good stamina. Workouts can be long, so it's good if you have a tolerance for tedium. The worst injury you will get from swimming will probably be tendonitis (painful, but not catastrophic).

Diving would be better for you if you have a really good body sense (for tumbling and twists) and don't mind having a crowd stare at you in a wet bathing suit. You can injure yourself fairly routinely in diving, so it's good if you are a risk taker by nature.
