cannonballers

Tucked lake leapers

Cannonballers are people who perform cannonballs—the jump into water where you tuck your knees to your chest and hit the surface to maximize the splash.

The term often describes enthusiastic pool-goers, particularly kids competing to create the biggest impact: The cannonballers took turns launching off the diving board.
