The starting blocks can be no higher than 30 inches above water level.
The time advantage gained from diving off a starting block in a swimming competition is about 2 secs. More time can be cut from executing a tight flip turn on the return.
diving into a swimming pool is not hard because water moves and ice is hard and you will heart your self if u try to jump in ice
It is diving on a high diving board.
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)
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.
In my diving club, there are no members in the US diving at the moment.
Competitive diving is when an athlete participates in competitions in the area of springboard diving. There is spring board diving, which is done on either a one meter or a three meter diving board. Then, there is platform diving, which is most commonly done on a five meter, seven meter and ten meter. Diving is a competitive sport practiced in the Olympics, where they do both springboard and platform diving.
Professional Diving is a type of diving where the divers are paid for their work. Recreational diving or sport diving is a type of diving that uses SCUBA equipment for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment. Military, navy, rescue and police diving courses need to be taken per your division or location. Technical and scientific diving is mainly for research and exploration.

Free diving is diving without scuba. Skin diving means diving without a wetsuit or scuba. Since you can free dive without a wetsuit they can be the same thing but they are not necessarily always the same thing.
A dive is a head first jump into the water with arms out ( in streamline position) and legs straight out behind you so you are in a perfect line. Flips and acrobatical jumps are also dives. But the 1st definition is for swimming. Diving is used to extend or explode of a diving block. Dives are also used in competitio. Thank you. :)
