Each participant will acquire:  

• Proper body mechanics-tie pointing, hand, head, arm coordination for entry. The importance of the core with hips and buttock. 
• Each will learn how to properly elongate the body for entry maneuvers from the side of the pool and off the diving board. 
• Each will learn to properly manipulate the diving board by learning to approach a dive, leave the board and enter the water( forwards and back wards).  

The goal of the course is that every participant will learn to do a front jump, rear jump, front dive tuck , pike, back dive layout, forward somersault tuck and back somersault tuck. 

We will conclude the diving season with attempting to do a Forward one and one-half somersault tuck.
