diving boards

I was at this annual youth group pool party and like always, my friend Ryan and I were show offs doing flips and such, but we took it to the next level this year. He was doing double fulls(back) and I had the fulls(front and back). Then he would do a handstand on the edge, then block off, and I would go right away after. I practiced dismounts for beam-back walkover-backtuck, roundoff back tuck. Then we started doing 1 and a half flips ending in dives. It was so much fun. Gymnasts make great divers.!!

Our highschools in this area do not offer gymnastics so alot of our gymnasts do diving in highschool. It seems a little less strenous on the body, but still as challenging. Keep having fun.

We have gym, opposite season of diving though, so some people do both. I don't compete hs gym, or diving, because I'd really like to take it easy the first semester and focus more on academics. I'm in a few clubs, and I also work. In spring I do track.
