Olympics Diving: Why divers normally take a shower after their jump?
Why divers normally take a shoewer after their jump in Olympics Diving Competition? Amost all divers take a shower and few go to Jacuzzi.
Most people inaccurately think it’s to stay warm. It’s actually to wash off the pool chemicals between dives. They use the Jacuzzi to keep warm. Most swimming pools air temperature is 85-90 degrees and you’ll sometimes see divers sitting between dives in nothing but their suits so this is a myth.
Although the pool temperature for many competitions is around 80 degrees they are only in the water less than 10 seconds.
Hope this helps.
Enjoy!

Fun in Acapulco $7.52 In 1963 Elvis could still be energized by the music in his movies, and the production values hadn’t yet descended to budget-crunching level. Thus the breezy pleasure of Fun in Acapulco, which sees the pelvis-swinger coming to life for a rousing “Bossa Nova Baby” and a clutch of faux-Mexican tunes. Nice scenery of the fabled resort, but the movie has a strange disconnect (which becomes weirdly fasc… |
