Competitive Diving
The illustrations of various styles of diving have been taken from the prospectus issued for the benefit of intending competitors at the last Olympic Games, held at Stockholm, Sweden, in 1912. The text for the regulation of diving contests has been taken bodily from Rule 55 of the Amateur Athletic Union handbook.
The Amateur Athletic Union is the governing body of amateur athletic sport in the United States and every amateur swimmer who expects to enter in races or competition of any kind should be registered with his local association of the Amateur Athletic Union in order to prevent being disqualified.
