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.
Examples
The diver bounced on the diving board before executing a perfect dive.
Every pool equipped for diving has a sturdy diving board installed at one end.
