How To Dive Properly

If part of your summer includes the use and enjoyment of a pool, you will find that one of the most fun things to do in a pool is to dive, as the sensation of leaping headfirst toward something is not a sensation one usually experiences, and it is made all the more enjoyable for the fact that it is actually quite safe. That is, diving is quite safe as long as you are doing it properly; when you dive properly, you will be able to dive again and again without worrying about getting hurt, but when you do not know how to dive properly, you can end up putting yourself in danger of hurting yourself, and even of injuring yourself.

Of course, the first step for diving is that the pool should be deep enough for diving to be safe; never dive into a pool if you do not know how deep it is, and never dive into a lake or river unless you know for sure it is safe - with 9 to 10 feet (and enough space) being a good, safe depth for diving.

Do not start your diving practice from the diving board, but rather, start from beside the pool; stand with your feet together and your arms above you. Extend your arms above your head to where they touch, and make sure that the sides of your arms are pressed against your ears; your hands will be the first thing to break the surface, as this will keep your head from getting hurt, so bend your legs, and spring forward, aiming to keep your head down so that your hands break the water first, followed by the crown of your head (instead of by your face!).

Once you have gotten used to this practice, you will be able to move up onto the diving board and also work on your form (such as making sure you keep your legs together all throughout the dive) - but taking care of these first steps is the most important thing, as this will keep you safe, and will enable you to get used to the act of diving!
