diving-board
Springy pool platform
A diving-board is a flexible plank projecting over a swimming pool, used to spring into the water.
The board bends under the diver's weight, then rebounds to provide lift for jumps and acrobatic dives.
She bounced twice on the diving-board before executing a perfect swan dive.
