Best Answer

To stay submerged in water, that is not keep floating to the surface you need to make your weight relatively the same as that of the water. This can be done by wearing a weight belt. Weight belts are used by skin divers to enable them to move about freely when under the water without having to constantly having to stop them selves from floating upwards. It should be stresses however that a person without weight in a pool can drown and this will happen more easily in the case of a person that has weights on.

First off, when you swim, stay safe! Make sure that you can dive into a pool, because if it's not deep enough, you could get seriously hurt. Diving is simple, once you get the hang of it! At a community pool, even a regular pool, there might be a diving board, even some different levels of diving boards. START FROM THE BOTTOM! DO NOT GO STRAIGHT TO THE TOP! Start on the outside of the pool.

1. Straighten up.

2. Plant your feet next to each other, it helps!

3. Put your arms in front of you,hands down.

4. Then turn your palms towards each other.

5. Raise your arms above your head and let your palms touch.

6. Keep your elbows as straight as you can.

7. Prepare your legs to jump.

8. Jump! Use force!!! But not too much!!!

9. As you jump tilt your head and arms towards the water.

10. Feet touch the water last.

TIPS

-Do not separate your palms as you or when you touch the water.

-Do not be afraid to go deep. Breathe through your mouth, when you're ready through your nose.

-Once you are fully under water do a couple of strokes toward the surface by bringing your arms to your sides and bringing them over your head again.

-When diving into shallow water it's most important to know just how shallow the water is. Also, diving into creeks, rivers, and so on, where the water isn't clear, it's vital to make sure first that there's othing out of sight under the surface that you could hit - rocks, tree branches, and so on.

Every year, far too many people - usually young - are killed or very seriously injured by hitting their heads on submerged hazards when they dive. Brain injuries or paralysis is too high a price to pay for not checking the water first!

to dive into a pool you need to stand on the edge and put your arms out above your head, touching your ears holding each other. you need to lean forward bending your legs and pointing your hands which are outside your head towards the water. you push off with your legs and hit the water first with your hands. you hands break the water so you can easily swim away. hope this helps :)

by the way i am a swimmer ;)

First try to do a back bend on land. then do the same thing into the pool. Next time, add a little jump to it. If it is helpful, learn how to do a back handspring. keep jumping more and more with each back dive until you feel confident and comfortable enough to do the full flip. But make sure to keep your knees tucked into your chest, because if you don't flip over all the way, it hurts your thighs A LOT. It's also just easier to do it that way, because you're pushing through less air.
