diving

Olympics again ~ why do the divers go into that little pool after each dive?

[erin-x]

Tom doesn't... He goes to the shower instead. And I don't know why, sorry.

[Prudie]

It's a hot tub thing isn't it, to keep warm anyway.

[rockyracoon]

I keep warm I believe, I did think it was to wash the chlorine off.

[excelsior-1]

it's fresh water ... to wash off the chlorine from the pool ... also it's warm to keep from getting cold.

One question I have about the diving - how do they have the nerve to be up there let alone hurl themselves off the board. I feel queasy watching it

[rockyracoon]

I always think they're going to smash their head off the board as they spin, it makes me wince every time I watch a dive.

[marval]

Me too Mrs O.

[FredPuli43]

Yes, mrs o and have you seen the dives where they do a handstand on the top board first? Gulp!!!

[rabet]

Me too, Mrs O. Thanks all!

[EcclesCake]

Aren't they ozone pools now?

The plunge pools are warmer and ease the muscles.

Tom's got bronze-well done

At my last job we had a competition to see who was the best 'bus diver' of the year. I did not win as I was merely a bus driver.
