diving boards

Bouncy pool platforms

Diving boards are springy planks extending over swimming pools or other bodies of water, used to launch oneself into the air before entering the water.

They flex under a diver's weight, storing energy that releases upward at the jump.

Competitive diving uses boards at standardized heights, typically one or three meters above the water surface.
