How Do You Use Springboard Diving Techniques?
Springboard diving is one of sport’s most breathtaking events. For a few seconds the diver seems to defy gravity and do the impossible. The twisting and flipping motions of divers have captivated and inspired audiences for centuries. Learn to properly jump off the board based on the dive you want to attempt. A double flip requires a completely different momentum than a swan dive. This is the setup for the aerial feats you will perform and takes practice to master. Know the steps required to perform the proper jump for your dive. Some large dives, such as a swan dive, require a five-step approach to the jump, while tighter dives only need three. Practice and find out the difference each approach will have on your performance. Flip by turning your body forward and coming around for at least one full rotation. In most cases the diver brings his head forward, upending his legs after leaving the board. Twist by rotating your body. Imagine standing on your feet and turning in a circle. Apply
