What is a "diving board"?

A diving board is a spring-loaded platform used in swimming pools to allow swimmers to jump or dive into the water. It is usually made of a flexible material, such as fiberglass, and is mounted above the pool at varying heights, allowing for different levels of difficulty. The board bends when pressure is applied, providing a boost for the diver to leap higher or perform flips. Diving boards are commonly used for both recreational and competitive diving, helping athletes improve their diving techniques and form.
