List of diving facilities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of diving facilities, especially those including 10-meter diving platforms. This is usually the last feature of an athletics complex required for training and competition in the full program of Olympic swimming and diving. In the United States, a 10-meter platform is required for full NCAA competition,[1] although two schools may hold a dual NCAA meet at a facility lacking one if both schools agree. Organizations that set standards for diving facilities include FINA which governs international competitions, and, in the United States, NFHS, NCAA, and USA Swimming. A typical requirement for indoor facilities is that they must provide 5 metres (16 ft) clearance above the highest diving board or platform, so that divers do not hit a ceiling structure.[1]

The competitive sport of diving has included the 10-meter dive as an Olympic event since the 1904 Summer Olympics. By 1837, six indoor pools with diving boards had been built in London, England. The first diving competition was held in 1885, in Germany.[2] In the first Olympic diving competition in 1904, American George Sheldon won gold in platform diving. Women's diving in the Olympics started with Women's diving at the 1912 Summer Olympics, won by Greta Johansson.

University of Washington, 1915

Training for Olympic diving competition requires 10-meter diving facilities, which are scant in some parts of the world. For example, the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center, built in 1979 as a YMCA facility, is one of only two Olympic-sized pools in Wisconsin that can host large events, and it is the only facility in the southeast Wisconsin region with 10-meter diving platforms.[3]
