Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

A prerequisite for skilful diving is a thorough understanding of the functions of the springboard in diving. Stop-motion and slow motion are used in this film to give a detailed analysis of lifts, tucks, somersaults, and other types of diving movements, both in training for diving, and in actual dives by experts.
