Ill diving u beginner should not both

fuel In deptll Is tile right tiling. A |
simple rule to In- followed in order to
insure absence of the deplorably awk
ward and ofteu painful llat strike ou
the w Her Is for the beginner to watch
intently some spot ou the ehest of her
buthlux garment. A little white but- !
ton will serve as well as anything else
to rivet the eyes on. This prevents j
that nervous raising of the head which
is so often responsible for the flat dive.
One should stand erect, with the
head Inclined slightly forward. The (
arms should be outstretched and the
feet well together. They should re
uialu together until the completion of
the dive. The spring Is made so fast
? that the forehead or the top of the
head strikes the water first. If the
face strikes first, a false dive Is the re
sult.
Spring lightly Into the water head
foremost, taking the greatest care to
carefully measure the distnuce with
your eye Ik-I ween the platform from
which you dive and the top of tjie wa- ;
ter. The knees should lie kept straight, ;
or the dive will lack in grace, and liotll- !
lug Is so awkward as an ungraceful
dive. This should not. however, dis

After reaching the water the quick
upward turn should he made, and the
shallower the water the sharper and
, quicker the turn in order that there
shall lie no bumping against the but
tuiii of the pool or river. This Is the
simple Miort dive. In the Ions <11 ve the
hotly Is allowed to remain In the same
IHisition as when It strikes the water
save for the gradual upward turn, per
mitting the foree of the start to 1h>
I'ume s|K>nt. This latter is very grace
ful. and It Is exceedingly exhilarating.
one of the most attractive dives for
th" spectator is the wooden soldier.
This is accomplished tiy maintaining
j the same position as in the long dive
save that the hands are kept tight to
the side and are not extended upward.
The body Is kept straight or slightly
curviug. and the legs and heels are
kept tight together.
The Australia^ splash is another
novelty. After jumping from the hoard
one lifts the ktiees and "lasps them In
tlie hands, striking the water In a sit
ting position.
