How can I jump into a pool headfirst from the pool ledge. I'm just trying to jump headfirst from thecledge for fun

[@stlee74]

I spent a few months going from 3m to 5m, then after a few weeks to 7.5. I could only do a head first dive, and decided to try 10m. I could only do the 10m once during my session (1hr) because hitting the water was pretty strong. After one hour long session (lots of 5 and 7m dives, I have one last attempt at 10m. (This was probably only about my 10th time. I hit the water straight , head first, but pretty hard. I knew there was something wrong because I couldn’t feel it move my arms at all when I was underwater. I eventually got the feeling back after kicking to the surface, but eventually found out that I had damaged both main nerves in my shoulders, permanently, and have now lost my shoulder muscles. And still, about 6 years later, I have no muscle there and have very little shoulder strength, and some problems when I move my arms. So please, as Jim says. Don’t do what I did. I really wanted to go head first from 10m. But I was not given the proper training. I went from zero experience to 10m in a very short time. Always get proper advice before going to 10m. I still find it scary, but I do miss diving. I would not go from 10m again. But maybe 5m. Although that probably isn’t a good idea with my injury.

[@mattmatt245]

Why did your shoulder muscle get damaged ? Did you hit the water at the wrong angle ?

[@Andy_XT]

Thanks for sharing your experience. This is very likely the strongest and most useful lesson we could get. Thanks again and good luck.

[@leuphoniemusic]

:( Feel for you, man..

[@colindias4820]

Hope your doing good now sir .. Just reading your story. I'm just started with swimming g lessons and doing dives now .. Small ones from 3m .. and at my age ..that would be more than enough .. maybe a 5m... but feet first . .. Pretty scary doing it than watching on TV .. never realised it all these years. ..

[@TarmanTheChampion]

Awesome videos sir! I broke my neck diving 5 years ago... almost died. Was extremely blessed by god to be able to walk away from it. I broke my C5 vertebrae almost completely in half. It happened in Ukraine 2 days before we had to fly out. Some doctors (both in Ukraine and US) said it required surgery right away, a couple said it should heal just fine as I was healthy and in top shape at 23 years old. I just had to wear a stiff neck brace for 6 months taking only ibuprofen at first .. get this I didn't even miss our flight! (even though the doctors advised I stay at the hospital for several weeks under close super vision) my dad was like no, we are flying out and he will be okay LMAO! I still enjoy diving to this very day :)

[@masenz]

[@streamfully6844]

This taught me better than a swimming teacher from 2 years ago, now I dive head first from like 1-1.5 meters without any problems, thanks.

[@dominikmilien]

You had 5 hours and you already did it?

[@pratikdedhia]

I used to get anxiety when I am standing on the edge and about to dive, lots of go-no go things going in the mind at lightening speed and always used to over push and almost fall on my back. Now what I am doing is a run up dive, where I run and take a push and dive. This has removed lots of anxiety since for running I do not have to prepare, and once the body is in motion, all the moves seems to come automatically and I land in the water almost correctly. I would want to dive like him someday but I am happy with my current progress for now. Diving is awesome.

[@chippster7353]

I'm a diver since 2012, and i love your videos. Of course, you teach basilar moves, but your tutorials are so clear and exhaustive. Good job, really

[@watermagic_fun]

Thanks friend😇

[@starcatinum4847]

To prevent water from entering your nose, start breathing out through your nose right before you come in contact with the water.

[@rmeows5087]

I find that, when I enter head first and continue moving forward at a reasonable pace, water doesn’t go to my nose

[@izzyn9000]

I do it all the time but most of the time, it still goes through my nose and if I exhale hard enough, I WONT HAVE ENOUGH AIR TO STAY UNDERWATER SO I HAVE TO GET OUT ASAP😥🥺

[@skepticmoderate5790]

I do this for most things in the pool, like underwater rolls and stuff. It is quite useful.

[@ckmoto83]

It's not easy for rookies to breath out jumping from 4-5 meters ...I wanted to breath out but FEAR made me hold my breath every time.But like everything with practice i can do better,.

Excellent, this takes a lot of fear out the dive when explaining to kids this technique and explanation......Thanks

[@elftwelve]

I did it! I finally jumped like this from 5m after a lot of practice from 3m. I used the springboard to fly higher and higher until the visual difference was very small from the next height. I was scared for so long and yesterday the fear suddenly went away (I just now saw it was full moon, maybe that was my werewolf mode? lol) The first time my legs tipped over a little bit but it didn't hurt at all, then did it a couple more times and from there on I can keep perfecting it (the last one was very clean) I also did my first ever 1 1/2 flip from 3m. Looks kinda wonky but hey noone starts out with perfect dives! I didn't do a belly flop, only from 1m haha Edit: some typos

[@watermagic_fun]

Wow! You have been productive!😉

I am getting all the nerves and such watching this. Fear of heights and water. Respect to the people who do this as a sport.

[@grassgrands8831]

He has such a beautiful form when he hits the water it's mesmerising to watch

[@lynspyre]

This is why I choose to do the swimmers hands position. With the divers hand position you are entering the water with a flat surface, and beyond certain speed, any flat surface hitting water is like hitting a concrete wall.

[@livingonhighvibe]

The very beginning is what will help me to finally jump in the pool from the starting block! I can sometimes do well with a head-first from the poolside but doing the starting block is still too much. My biggest fear is that I will break my neck because the deep end is only 1.85m. (technically 2m deep pool but they fill it till 1.85m). I know there is an actual starting block and people use them but still, I can't get over the depth in my head.

[@vogavation]

From my swimming experience, streamline (hands overlapped) probably isnt the best idea for diving, as its designed to make you more aerodynamic and glide faster after a dive. Swimming dives are at inclines and not straight down, and are designed to keep you straight.

[@TheJRomans]

I am not a professional. However, I had successfully done a headfirst dive off a 28 meter waterfall in Cairns, Queensland, AU. The water at the bottom was like an infinitely deep hole. Though I succeeded, It was the most freightening dive I ever done. My previous record, I only had done 16 meters, which is actually kind of scary for me, still. Your technique seems somewhat smoother, even though I made it straight in. I had to feel my body as I accelerated upside down.

[@luka_pollo]

How are you dry after each dive?!?!?

[@outcast-wrld3634]

U guys should download this game called flip diving do a trick on the the game then do it in real life:) Like below if u agree

[@normg2242]

I learned early to respect the harm you can do to yourself when diving. I once threw my back out during entry from a one Metre board...!!! I also found out you can do a perfect head first from a three Metre board if you stand on the edge, stay stiff and straight and just let yourself fall forward while you raise your arms.

[@kylepape3136]

I couldn’t find a video on how to put your hands and then this came up on my feed thank you

[@amistakablechannel5412]

tips to not die while diving: place your hands in a v shape as if your praying, like this: 🙏🏽 next you’re gonna wanna act as if you’re slicing through the water when you land in the water, Good Job

[@franz4272]

how you hold your hands makes sense. I normally put my hands similar like swimmers do. When I do a head dive from 5 meters my right arm often is torn backwards when I dive in and it hurts my shoulder very much sometimes I'll try it how you did it next time😉

[@Hibbard1986]

if you take your left hand and make fist, and take right hand and place over left first and squeze the left fist, this feels pretty great from 3m. not sure how it translates further up, but it doesnt bother my wrists at all.

[@gullinvarg]

When I was a kid, the local pool had what we called a high dive. I think I was a 3m springboard, but it was a long time ago. Most kids just jumped off. I usually did a somersault and went in feet first. One time, I decided to dive. I'd gone off the 1m a lot as a kid, but I was scared to dive off the high dive. I actually did a decent dive, but I did exactly what this video said not to do... I faced the water. It hurt, although I wasn't injured. The other kids thought I was crazy for going head first.

[@marshallnongbet7752]

I am also a professional diver, as I am getting older and older now I am afraid of height especially head dive.recently I swam for approximately 4km, it took almost 2hrs

[@kirstymacaulay2540]

I love these videos! I don't ever intend to jump into a body of water above 2 meters, however, in case the situation arises in an emergency then now I know what to do!

[@watermagic_fun]

Not the worst skill to have😉

[@kirstymacaulay2540]

@@watermagic_fun agreed!! I grew up swimming in the North Sea of Scotland, however we moved away and now, as an adult, I can't even jump into water without holding my nose (any videos on how to get over that would be greatly appreciated 😁) I am very impressed at your diving/jumping skills, you're a very cool human!

[@_WatsoBrii94_]

We call them sailor dives where I’m from in the states and enter water head first no hands .highest I’ve done is 60ft from a vertical rock face cliff in the woods. First try didn’t seal tuck my arms to my side little slap but after that multiple times no issues or worry I think on top of technique confidence is everything

I jumped head 1st from about 4m max but i always jump shallow. Cuz in my town we dont have a pool with diving bords, so we jump and swim in the river thus i jump shallow cuz i dont know whats on the bottom. Also i feel calmer when i jump shallow because i dont want to go deep in the water. Ps: A bit of bragging. I jumped from 20m legs into the ocean. Love your videos. Much love from Serbia!

You can also interlock your hands and go in palms out. If yo don't (grab) your hands together on a high dive, your arms split and you shhhmack your head , and if your arms are not (locked) over your head , your head will bend left or right and can snap your neck. (All Jokes aside)

1) Get that shirt to protect your body from the inevitable mistakes and PAIN. 2) Do as he says: From 1m, then 3m, then 5m, and 7m. Forget about a 10m dive unless you have years of experience diving from all heights. I currently can dive from 5M but I'm not comfortable, I'm going to practice from 1 & 3m quite a bit more.

Hi from Turkey! Nice channel bro

[@barneysaggers1637]

I have almost no diving experience, but I’m an experienced national level gymnast and trampolinist, and I’ve always been very good with my aerial awareness when it comes to somersaulting. I’m currently in Spain on holiday and have been doing cliff jumping for the week, for the first time ever. I found a 13m cliff which I’ve already jumped feet first twice and was okay with, other than the impact on my feet because I didn’t point them enough on entry. Tomorrow I’m going to attempt either a swan dive or a leap of faith into somersault into the water from that same 13m cliff. I’ve been thinking about it constantly since I first saw it and no matter how scary it is and how much it makes my heart pound to even think about, I just can’t shake the feeling that I’ve got to give it a try. I leave Spain tomorrow, so it’s my last chance here for a long time. Should I just commit and do it? Or stay away and try in the future?
