  1. What are the European Diving Championships?

    The European DIving Championships are a six-day event taking place in Budapest, Hungary and form part of the European Aquatics Championships that also includes swimming, open-water swimming and synchronised swimming.

    The Championships are another much-needed opportunity for athletes to get competitive practice in ahead of the rearranged Tokyo Olympics that take place between 23 July and 8 August.

    Great Britain are seventh in the all-time European Championships medal table, with 299, but have done well in recent years, finishing second in the latest edition in Glasgow and Edinburgh in 2018 having topped the table in Berlin and London in 2014 and 2016 respectively.

  4. How to get into diving?

    BBC Sport

    How do I start?

    From beginners to experts, children to adults, diving courses are run at swimming pools throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

    What is it?

    You jump into water from a platform or springboard at a range of heights while getting your body into a range of positions.

    There are two different types of diving boards used in competitive diving. In springboard events, divers launch into the water from a height of either 1m or 3m. In Platform diving you start from a firm board which is either 5m, 7.5m or 10m from the surface.

    Each dive is split into three parts - 'take off' can either be front facing or back facing,the 'flight' is a combination of up-to-four different body positions as you're going down and the 'entry' is how the diver enters the water.

    Is it for me?

    You'll obviously need to be comfortable with water. We'd recommend you learn to swim before you dive! But if you enjoy heights, an adrenaline rush and want to learn tricks and be flexible, then diving is for you. All you need to get started is a swimming costume and some tuition.
