What is SPLASHDIVING?

The international term SPLASHDIVING includes all freestyle dives carried out from a diving platform. Similar to sports like Snowboarding, the divers have the possibility to create their own freestyle elements while performing the dive.

How does SPLASHDIVING work?

SPLASHDIVING is to be seen as a community for girls, boys and especially freaks that have lots of fun at diving and this with freestyle. They meet at swimming-pools or at other odd places to have fun and just do their freestyle diving.

SPLASHDIVING consists of different elements:

SPLASHDIVING™ - WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
SPLASHDIVING™ - CHAMPIONSHIP
SPLASHDIVING™ - ROUND ROBIN
SPLASHDIVING™ - POOLBOMBS™
SPLASHDIVING™ - WORLD OF RECORDS
SPLASHDIVING™ - SPORTCLUB BOMBING BOUNCE

Each element promises loads of fun!

Is SPLASHDIVING a new sport for the Olympic Games?

Certainly: what SPLASHDIVING athletes show on top of that diving platform is made for a great sports competition like the Olympic Games...but, let's get real: do we really want to be part of the Olympic Games? Maybe for a freestyle show, but…SPLASHDIVING would fit better to the X-Games or World Games.

Therefore, SPLASHDIVING can be divided into two parts:

Show Diving

An athlete shows in a playful kind of way movements from the side of the pool or from other heights (1, 3, 5, 7.5, 10 metres or even higher). The spectators are the public, fans and even colleagues from diving.
It is important to try to create a large water fountain and to perform real freaky movements just before the splashdown. Here you can often see some very abstract dives with somersaults and twists. Often the diver doesn’t know yet which dive and move he will show. The amount of somersaults and twist are often a coincidence.

Contest Diving

The new set of SPLASHDIVING rules were created with the aim to find the best divers by organising SPLASHDIVING contests.
The athlete announces his dive before performing it. It then is evaluated by judges, but it is always taken into account to keep the sport as free as possible and not to put it into a stiff concept. That otherwise wouldn’t be freestyle.

Therefore the evaluation is divided into the three parts of the dive: "Jump UP", "Move IT", "Splash DOWN".
