Diving is how you start a race in swimming. (Except for backstroke) Swimmers stand on blocks and dive in the water when the race start. This is quite simple and takes a month to learn but years to master (Been diving 3 1/2 years now but still haven't mastered it)


Im 16 years old and want to start platform diving is it too late?

No. But it depends on how you are "built" if you are not that tall and slim you will be better at diving than a tall or overweight person because you will be more agile and can move quicker once in the air. Also there are not that many diving pools in the UK I think there are only six in the whole country, so that could prove to be a stumbling block providing your location.
