Swimming and diving each come with\u00a0their own lingo. At times, talking to my swimmer teammates, I can slowly start to see the confusion written all over their faces. Talking to swimmers about diving is just the same as if you were talking to a diver about swimming&#8211; not everyone is on the same page 100 percent of the time, but we&#8217;re learning more jargon every season.<\/p>\n<h2>1.

Stuck<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone gets stuck now and again, it just happens\u00a0mid-air for divers. Being stuck in the position in the air, which basically puts the diver in a helpless position as a result of not enough rotating of the body to complete the dive.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Kick Out<\/h2>\n<p>A \u201ckick out\u201d is a strong explosive extension motion of your legs from the tuck position of a somersault.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Reverse<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cReverse, reverse\u201d or spinning back in forth during the Cha Cha Slide is what people think of when they hear that word. As for many divers and myself included, reverse is one of the top dives no one wants to do ever, but since it\u2019s in the books, we have to do it. A reverse dive is where the diver can either stand or take an approach to the end of the board facing the water, in a forward motion. Once the diver is in the air they make a backwards motion pivoting or spinning their body back towards the board.<\/p>\n<h2>8.
