How to Dive

Follow these simple steps to learn how to do a proper FRONT dive, off a 3 meter springboard.
1-Start about 4 feet back from the end of the board if you're a teen or adult, or farther if you take large steps. Stand in an upright position, back and legs straight.
2-When you're ready to do your approach, take three long steps, swinging your arms, together, in the same direction, as you walk.
3-When you've taken your 3 steps, bring one leg up and hop to the end of the board. \
4-As you are doing this, keep your head and neck straight and looking forward.
5-When you've jumped to the end of the board, do a large arm circle counter-clockwise and push off the board with both feet as hard as you can.
6-Go all the way up and then bend at the waist.
7-Bring your arms up and squeeze your ears with your arms
8-Clasp your hands together and look at your hands.
9-Keep your legs straight and toes pointed
