diving board
Bouncy pool platform
A diving board is a flexible plank extending over a swimming pool or body of water, mounted on a fulcrum so that it springs when someone jumps on it.
Divers use the board's bounce to gain height and momentum before entering the water.
Diving boards come in different heights and stiffness levels, from low springboards at recreational pools to high platforms used in competitive diving.
