Forward Line Up From the Three-meter Springboard
By Woody Franklin, About.com
During the entry, the diver should concentrate on keeping a hollow-body position. This hollow-body position will allow the diver to displace less water and as a result, LESS SPLASH! The diver can also use the entry to practice a somersault save, a technique that helps to move the diver under the water quicker, and prevent a chance of hitting the bottom of the pool with the head or hands.
