I just dived for the first time today! I showed my father and he told me how he was a competitive diver in the military and won third against the Germans in the 80s. I’m in the presence of a master
I tried to dive the first time today after watching this video, it totally helped. The most important thing is focus to hit your head first on the surface of the water. YOU HAVE TO COMMIT because if you dont, your belly is going to hurt
I have a technique to not be afraid of hitting the bottom of the pool and break or dislocate your legs. 1- Make sure that you go to the REALLY DEEP end of the pool, so you have more chances to not hit your legs on the bottom. 2-Make sure you breathe in and breathe out 3- Make sure that the position you are in when you will dive is highly presented; meaning no arms in the air or legs spreaded, or else you would DEFINITLY get hurt. 4- When you're about to jump in the water, make sure that everything is protected (Face,legs,stomach,back) and that you are Very far away from the edge, so that you won't hit your head. 5-The most protected position of diving is the Cannonball; The second you jump in, transform into a ball. AND MAKE SURE YOUR HEAD IS INSIDE THE BALL, NOT OUTSIDE, OR YOU'LL GET HURT! And, how did i do it? I just screamed YOLO!!! And i jumped in, the pencil way, and didn't get hurt. Try the YOLO technique! It's fun! YOLO; You Only Live Once
Quick tip: When you are jumping off higher diving boards, don't make your hands into a point like in this video. You should make them flat so that they hit the water and break it, instead of going through it, like with the point. If you watch Olympic divers, you will see that they do this. Hope this kind of made sense! :) Also, to reduce splash, you should spread your arms out when you have hit the water with them :D
This channel is so helpful and educational. They even pleasantly take time to reply to your comments. Great job, keep it up and I hope to see your channel gain in popularity
Hey Thea, thanks for your comment and please don't worry - it's a really common issue. You must focus on the seated dive before you try diving from a standing position. This will get you used to keeping your chin tucked in and getting the right entry into the water. Only try diving from a standing position once you've mastered this! It may take time so you will need to patient - diving properly and safely can be tricky. Please keep in touch on this, let us know how you're progressing :)
Have you tried it? I mean you get into trouble when you are in water or its the confidence issue. If its a confidence issue, give it a try. As I see you can do the pencil dive from any height, then head first should not be a problem. Hold you both hands on top of your head. Bring them down to feet with slightly bent knees. Then think of a hole in water who have to go through and jump. Your hands go first in this hole, then top of your head(not face), the body and legs follow. If you able to swim deep into water and come up, it should not be a problem.
I broke my phone so now I'm using my mom's tablet. So once I was 11 years old these kids were helping me over come my fear of jumping of a diving board. They were really afletic and looked like they have been swimming for a good few years. This diving board was a Lil high. So of cores my mom starts to yell at da kids but I jumped off and they said I did very goo. Now I'm 12,
But sometimes if we give a little force, a curve jump, swimming googles may slips over and water leaked on. But thanks, this video will correct my technique, swimming is not only sport but fun as well.
Idk if you guys still reply but I’m starting my first competitive swim team this year but even though I’ve been swimming my whole life I haven’t dives in a while. Do you have any tips on how to get rid of a mental block of bellyflopping. And also do you have any tips on how to not go straight down and kinda like stay straight but not too straight and go down but most straight down? In the standing dive
Hi Grace, how is your swimming progressing? As a rule of thumb, water shouldn't be any less than 5 feet deep. We'd recommend trying out diving in water much deeper than this - especially if you are just starting out diving practice - to avoid risk of injury. Good luck, let us know how it goes! PS -- If you like our videos then don't forget to like us on FB: facebook.com/Sikana.how/
Thanks for your comment! Above all, be sure to dry your ears out thoroughly after swimming by shaking out any water and drying your ears carefully with a towel. You may also want to experiment with swimming ear plugs and/or a swimming cap do prevent water from entering your ears. Hope this helps!
When I dive, I squeeze my ears with my arms when I put my arms up to avoid any water getting in my ear. Water in your ear so annoying and irritating! Hope the helps!!!!!
@@SikanaEnglish I know it's been 2 years but buy this bottle called easy swim within seconds the water will come out your ear and but the drops in your ear
I don't know if you guys still reply but I'm scared to dive in our deep end (around 12 ft) because I'm afraid I won't be able to get back up in the surface. Any suggestions on how to practice that?
Hi Leila, we do indeed still reply! Thanks very much for your question, you're certainly not alone in being scared. The key is to remember that your ribcage acts as a natural buoyancy aid- the air in your lungs will make you float up effortlessly to the surface. Take a look at our video on jumping into a pool for more information: bit.ly/2u3HLRl Hope this helps! Do let us know how you get on :)
Lianna My coach taught me to stretch my arms forward with my palms in a position as if I'm giving a high five (both hands) so I will quickly float up : D
Lianna I know that this isn't really recommended but try to keep your legs down as low as they go without it being a belly flop. This dive is a racing dive and you shouldn't sink anywhere near the bottom of the pool. If you don't like this idea, try a kneeling dive first. Go on your knees, then put one leg up on the side, like you're proposing and push off the wall while kind of falling in at the same time. Hope this helps
You will naturally float. It's okay. One time i went with my friend to go swimming. The hosts had a pool with a deep end of 10 ft and a diving board. Little by little my younger cousin helped me jump in at different depths of the pool. Then the diving board. It's fine. You only go down like 3 ft then you just swim up! It's fun and easy.
Can you show how to swim underwater after the dive. I learnt diving and gliding underwater perfectly after watching this video. But the moment I start swimming I come up on the surface. Please give us a video for how not to float above while swiming underwater after a dive.
So, my instructor says that when I dive I either do a belly flop or when i dive as soon as my hands touch the water my feet need to be straight. Is that true?
hi, i don't know if you still answer questions but i would really love to know how i can do the standing dive without getting water in my ears or nose, and how much time could it take before i can master it. Thanks.
We try and answer every single question :) It's is very rare that you will get water into your ears if you dive with your chin tucked into your body when you enter the water. As for your nose, you could try to exhale as you enter the water to combat this problem. We hope that helps, let us know how it goes!
This is a kinda stupid question, but I just learned to do a standing dive, but I always plug my nose. I know that for a regular front stroke u don’t need to plug ur nose. I HATE water up my nose and have a slight fear of it. Do I have to blow out when I dive of just swim?
We still reply Fredrik, thanks for your question. It sounds like the trajectory of your dive is too vertical. Try jumping out further into the water, more horizontally. Work your way up to a full dive with the steps outlined in our video to learn a great diving technique! Thanks, please subscribe!
No I do diving this video doesn’t know what they’re talking about, you don’t dive with a swimming cap and goggles🤪. If your diving straight down and going very vertical, that’s good👍, you just need a deeper pool. My diving pool is usually 3m deep, good luck😉, and keep working to be a better diver.
I’m having trouble... I’m new to swimming... I’m scared of diving because of the depth of water Ik I can swim backup but it’s just scary to me... I’m mad at myself for being scared I won’t give up
I already know how to dive but this one time I was preparing for a dive and slipped on some water which resulted in an awkward dive. Face hit the water first and I could feel my left nipple starting to like fall off lol.
Whenever I try to dive water gets inside my swimming goggles and I start panicking. So I'm scared to dive in deep. Any idea how to fix this and where do you think I'm going wrong ?
I’ve always been bad at this kind of stuff. Like, jumping from a place or doing something requiring your body to roll over, like I can’t even do a somersault! Any tips?
I have a huge fear of DEEP water.... I know this is a stupid questions however pls i need a answer .if i jump will i come back up . Can i hold my nose while jumping in . when i come out of jumpimg do i immediatly start swimming ..or wait
Hi there! Thanks for your comment and don't worry, it's definitely not a stupid question - you are very brave for asking! We have a whole free video program on learning about swimming and overcoming a fear of water, you can watch it all for free right here: www.sikana.tv/en/sport/getting-comfortable-in-the-water To answer your questions then: 1) If you jump in and hold your breath then the air in your lungs will help you float back up to the surface, but you can also kick and paddle to help you get up as well. You won't just keep sinking endlessly! 2) You can definitely hold your nose while jumping in - some people do it to avoid water going up the nose. It is not recommended that you hold your nose while diving however. 3) Once you've jumped in then the choice is totally yours! You can start swimming whenever you want. If it's for a swimmming race, you'll probably want to start swimming immediately. Hope that helps! Don't forget to subscribe :)

I also have this fear that when I dive my head is going to the bottom of the pool and I will never try it cause it’s do dangerous and I get really scared got any advice....
I actually have no problems with diving,But whenever i dive i can't see properly because i usually wear glasses.Whenever i wear them and swim,bubble's appear on my glasses and i won't be able to see.Have any tips?
I just dived for the first time today! I showed my father and he told me how he was a competitive diver in the military and won third against the Germans in the 80s. I’m in the presence of a master
So howcome he never taught you? Just curious
@@ladybonezz8017cus it’s bullshit
The key to diving is not giving a shit and just going for it
How could you say that Makveli
I agree, or else ur lack of guts from sudden motion would make u hesitate and bellyflop
I agree with you
The amount of water slaps I’ve experienced from following this advice clearly don’t agree😂
So is it with life friend, so it.
I tried to dive the first time today after watching this video, it totally helped. The most important thing is focus to hit your head first on the surface of the water. YOU HAVE TO COMMIT because if you dont, your belly is going to hurt
He does it so elegantly 😂😂😂
DoomStuff 0:47 and he smiles so radiantly as he jumps into the water 🤣
Making it look so easy ahahaahha
Whats funny about it
I learned how to dive yesterday by my friends dad teaching me. He taught me and I just went for it. I did it first try
I go to lifeguards and we do diving into hoops and things this really helped me !
I have a technique to not be afraid of hitting the bottom of the pool and break or dislocate your legs.
1- Make sure that you go to the REALLY DEEP end of the pool, so you have more chances to not hit your legs on the bottom.
2-Make sure you breathe in and breathe out
3- Make sure that the position you are in when you will dive is highly presented; meaning no arms in the air or legs spreaded, or else you would DEFINITLY get hurt.
4- When you're about to jump in the water, make sure that everything is protected (Face,legs,stomach,back) and that you are Very far away from the edge, so that you won't hit your head.
5-The most protected position of diving is the Cannonball; The second you jump in, transform into a ball. AND MAKE SURE YOUR HEAD IS INSIDE THE BALL, NOT OUTSIDE, OR YOU'LL GET HURT!
And, how did i do it? I just screamed YOLO!!! And i jumped in, the pencil way, and didn't get hurt.
Try the YOLO technique! It's fun! YOLO; You Only Live Once

When I dive, water gets into my nose arghh. My head freaking hurts when that happens
Sosaianne Bezrukova I have nose plugs where you put them on your nose and it keeps them shut. It really helps!
Exhale through your nose as soon as you hit the water
You blow while u dive
The basic rule is to blow air through your nose which itself prevents from entering water.
So, my instructor says that when I dive I either do a belly flop or when i dive as soon as my hands touch the water my feet need to be straight. Is that true?
thanks mate

The standing dive is quite risky in shallow water!
Oh, I've always called the standing dive the pencil dive, because you make the triangle part of a pencil with your arms above the head.
How to stay on the water flat while facig upwards and no body movement?
It works
I have gone to decathlon many tomes
I have never done a pencil dive or a sitting dive. I have only done standing dive.
My pool is 6ft deep, I always do pencil dive but I wanna do stand up dive but in scared like of the pressure or idk I’m just scared.
My knees always bend i dive, somtimes my calves hits the back of my thigh. Any suggestion on how to prevent that?
