It depends on the scoring system you use and the type of meet that you are at. Generally, in a six lane pool at a duel swim meet scoring is as follows: Individual Events: 1st - 6 pts, 2nd - 4 pts, 3rd - 3 pts, 4th - 2 pts, 5th - 1 pt Relay Events: 1st - 12 pts, 2nd - 8pts, 3rd - 6 pts If the meet is a championship, then the points start at 16 for first place overall and then 14 for second and then decrease by ones until zero.

What is the difference between regular diving and synchronized diving?

The difference between "regular" diving and synchronized diving is the scoring and the athletes. In "regular" diving one diver goes at a time and that one diver is scored based on that one dive. In synchronized diving, TWO people do the SAME DIVE at the SAME TIME to try and be as accurate and identical to each other as possible. The two athletes are then given ONE score for both dives based on their precision and timing.
