Hi! This is my first post on my new blog. Our teacher has asked us to right about something of our choice so I have decided to right about my favourite sport Diving! I dive for a club called North Shore Dolphins Dive Club.

How I got into diving

I got into diving when my friend mentioned it to my mum. I thought that is sounded cool so I decided to try a couple lessons. After the lessons I wanted to try the pre-comp classes so I signed up for it. I was in it for a year and only doing once a week and then when it was over I decided to join what I’m in now. It is 2 times a week and lots of fun! I dive with my good friend who I first got me into diving. I have been working on my inward dive tuck and I have to say I have been getting pretty good at it.

My Favourite Dive:

My favourite dive would be a Front roll in.

I like this dive because I like how different it is and I like it because it is fun and I enjoy doing the tuck and roll.

My Favourite diver

My favourite favourite diver would be Tom Daley because I saw him on The Great British Bake Off and I watched some videos on him and he did some really cool dives. I want to one day be in some competitions and learn even more dives. Diving might not be the most popular sport in the world but is sure one of the most fun!

The most hardest dive in the world is called a front 4 1/2. It is the hardest dive because if the twists and because of the required position.

Here’s Tom Daley demonstrating  and talking about the most difficult dive in the world.
