diving-boards

Bouncy pool platforms

Diving-boards is the plural of diving-board, a flexible plank extending over a pool or body of water from which swimmers spring into the air before entering the water.

The board's bounce allows divers to gain height for acrobatic maneuvers: The diving-boards at the community pool ranged from one to three meters high.
