Diving Description

With concentration, the diver was balanced steadily on the end of the platform.

As she jumped of the springboard she was times to precision and was doing all these things you had to do in diving. She had a perfectly symmetrical shape and only did a minimum of splash. The diver was really nervous at first but she didn't show it that much. When she got out of the water she went to go and dry off.

When judging you have to judge on the time, the summersaults and the minimum of splash they do. They can get a lot of points if they do all of that exactly.
