After you have tried several .dives of Iho type mentioned in the Jast article, you can attempt the proper dive from the side o/ the bath or from a spring board. Standing upright, spring upwards and outwards, and at the same time bring the arms forward and upward until they are beyond the head and in fine with the trunk. While you are in the air the head will drop between the arms, and the body will move into the proper position for the entry into the water. Make a fairly long glide when you are under the water. To come to the surface it is necessary only to tilt the hands upwards. When you are proficient you can try the running header. The most difficult part for the learner is the run along the board, but a few attempts only will be needed to give you the necessary confidence and ability.
