I have very vivid memories of a dive I did at Sindelfingen Pool when I was Nick's age: I did a handstand at the edge of the high dive board, thinking I would flip over half way and enter feet first. Well, my understanding of physics was clearly lacking, as I ended up flipping 3/4 of the way around and doing a gigantic, painful belly flop (being a gymnast I had good form, so hit just like a pancake), much to the surprise and amusement of everyone else in the pool. Hurt like crazy! I didn't do any more handstands off of the high dive after that. Still loved diving though! Glad you all are having such a blast at the pool and the lake this summer!

Wowee kazowee!
You need to Photoshop that one of Nick to make him look like Superman. That is pretty funny.
Gee, I don't know which is more phenomenal, the photos or the doing!! Ready for the Olympics....
Sure is lots of jumping and diving - what a great way to have fun when you are young!
In total awe!

The last time I dove off a high board, the top to my 2 piece swimsuit came off. And I was 13.
I think Nick could be on the Olympic dive team.
I meant to write much to my surprise and the amusement of everyone else in the pool.
Mom, I think you told me that story before, but I forgot. Yikes!
