Diving Board Installation
How far should diving board extend over pool?
The end of the diving board should extend a minimum of 2 feet (0.6 meters) and a maximum of 3 feet 6 inches (1.1 meters) over the water surface of the pool. The board should be perpendicular to the deck and have a slip-resistant surface.
Can I install my own diving board?
Most residential pools are not deep enough to accommodate a diving board, and those that are generally have other safety features in place to make diving safe. With that being said, it is possible to install your own diving board, but it is not recommended unless you are an experienced diver and have consulted with a pool safety specialist. If you do choose to install a diving board, be sure to follow all manufacturer’s instructions and local building codes.
What is a jig on a diving board?
A jig on a diving board is a move in which the diver swings their hips up and down, causing the board to bounce. This is generally done as a means of amusement or to show off, but can also be used to help the diver gain height for a jump.
Should a diving board be level?
A diving board should be level to ensure safety for those using it. A board that is not level can result in a person hitting their head or neck on the diving board or pool deck, which can lead to serious injury.
