Diving is a sport that involves entering the water from a springboard or platform. In competitive diving, the diver performs acrobatic moves such as somersaults or twists during the flight through the air. However, even for non-competitive divers who are only interested in diving headfirst from a springboard at the local pool or swim club, learning proper technique is important.
