What are the six types of dives?
Dives can all be put into one of six categories: forward, backward, reverse, inward, twisting, and armstand. When judging a dive, the judge must not be influenced by any factor other than the technique and execution of the dive. The dive must be considered without regard to the approach to the starting position, the difficulty of the dive, or any movement beneath the surface of the water.It is a failed dive if the amount of the twist is greater or less than that announced by 90 degrees or more. In head first dives, if any part of the body below the waist enters the water before the hands, the referee shall declare the dive to be a failed dive.
What is the 120 rule in diving?
The rule suggests that the depth of the dive (in feet) and the time spent underwater (in minutes) should not exceed a combined total of 120. The goal of this rule is to keep divers within a range where they can avoid serious risks such as nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness. The Rule of Thirds is a guideline used by scuba divers to manage their air supply effectively throughout a dive. It involves mentally dividing one’s breathing gas supply into three equal parts. One-third for the outward journey, one-third for the return journey, and one-third as a reserve or emergency supply.In technical diving, the 1/3 Rule ensures divers have enough gas for the descent, return, and emergencies. It divides the total gas supply into three parts: one-third for the descent and exploration, one-third for the return, and one-third as a reserve, enhancing safety in challenging environments.
What are the rules for the 6 dive list?
Men must complete six dives per competition, while women must complete five. The diver can choose any difficulty level for each dive. One dive must come from each of the five categories (forward, back, reverse, inward, twisting). Men may repeat one of the categories for their sixth dive. Dives may be performed in six different groups: forward, backward, reverse, inward, twisting and armstand.There are 5 basic categories or groups of dives for spring board diving. The first four are named according to the direction of the dive relative to the diving board. These are forward, backward, reverse, and inward. The 5th category can be done in any of the 4 previous positions, but involves a twisting component.The remaining dives for a diver after the required dive are optional dives. The sum of dives performed by a diver must come from at least 4 different groups of dives, and no more than 2 can come from any one dive group.
What is the 25 10 rule in swimming?
The 25:10 rule states that if a child is unable to swim 25 meters continuously (no stopping) and unassisted, a parent must be within 10 feet of the child and actively watching them. All JEM and Ellis facilities enforce a 10/20 standard which represents the time a lifeguard has to scan their zone in the pool, and then if need be, respond and make a save. The 10 being ten seconds to scan the pool and the 20 being twenty seconds to respond and make a save.The “10/20 Rule” is a lifesaving standard that every pool and water park should follow. Lifeguards must spot a distressed swimmer within 10 seconds and reach them within 20 seconds. No one should be at risk longer than 30 seconds. When this standard isn’t met, the consequences can be tragic.
