EDITORS COMMENTS
Diving, also known as Natation (Plongeons) in French, is a captivating and elegant sport that involves jumping or falling into water from a height, often with an acrobatic twist. This page from the 1930 Larousse Encyclopedia showcases a stunning collection of photographs demonstrating the various techniques and divers' graceful forms as they execute their dives. The first image displays a high dive, with the diver poised at the edge of the board, arms extended, and eyes focused intently on the water below. The second photograph captures a graceful swan dive, with the diver's body arched and arms sweeping back before plunging into the water. The third and fourth images showcase the more acrobatic side of diving, with the divers performing the 'tuck' and 'pike' positions respectively. In the tuck position, the diver bends their knees and pulls their legs up to their chest, while in the pike position, they extend their legs outwards and bend at the hips. The final image in this selection showcases a synchronized diving team, executing a perfect 'flying leap' in unison. The divers leap off the board together, their bodies forming a graceful arc as they enter the water. Diving requires a combination of strength, flexibility, and precision, as well as a deep understanding of physics and the properties of water. The sport has a rich history, with the first recorded diving competition taking place in England in the late 18th century. Today, diving is an Olympic sport and continues to captivate audiences with its breathtaking displays of athleticism and grace.
