The above water: As divers approach the water, they must extend their body into a rigid, straight line. The swim: After divers hit the water, they must swim their arms out while keeping their lower body rigid. By performing a hurdle or skip motion near the end of the board or platform, which typically involves pushing forward and away from oneself down into the board or platform surface while leaning slightly backwards, a diver is converting the forward momentum of their run into upwards and flipping momentum.
With forward momentum being converted into upwards momentum, a diver uses flexion at the shoulders and hips to throw their bodies into a flipping direction. The diver must do this while his or her feet are still in contact with the board… once in the air with nothing to push off of, the only thing a diver can do is shorten their radius in the flipping direction brining their arms and legs close to their body in a tuck position for example to speed up the flip. The stronger the arm throw and hip bend while the feet are still on the board, the more flip a diver can generate.
