WHY DO DIVERS WHO HAVE PASSED ALL THEIR POOLSIDE GRADES STILL PRACTICE SKILLS FROM THE POOLSIDE?
Even our divers who went to the Commonwealth Games, still do extensive work from the poolside so this is nothing unusual. Many progressions to more complex skills, are performed from the poolside. Also, it is important for divers to consolidate what they have previously learnt on a regular basis to ensure the base of the skills pyramid remains in place and secure, so that as they develop further up the skills pyramid they are still able to perform all the basic elements that make up the more complex skills.
