cannonballer
Tucked splash maker
A cannonballer is someone who does a cannonball—the jump into water where you tuck your knees to your chest and create maximum splash.
The term suggests enthusiasm over technique: The cannonballers took over the deep end while serious swimmers glared from the lap lanes.
