Diving
A Brief Overview:
Diving is a recreational
or competitive athletic activity in which the participant leaps from above
the water surface, executes simple to complex body motions while in the
air, and enters the water headfirst or feetfirst.
Although the diver
make take off from any type of perch over the water's surface--from a
poolside inches above the surface to cliffs 20 or more meters above the
ocean--most diving, including all sanctioned competition, is done from
springboards or platforms.
Diving as a gymnasticlike,
acrobatic activity was developed in Europe during the 19th century.
There are four basic
parts to a dive: the run, the takeoff, the execution, and the entry into
the water.

The third part, which
takes place in the air, is by far the most variable and consists of one
or more of four basic body positions: layout--body straight, legs extended;
pike--body bent at waist, legs straight; tuck--legs against chest, hands
holding shins; and free--position changing, as in most twisting dives.
