History
History Divers were known in ancient times, as is witnessed by depictions of people diving from cliffs. Modern diving developed in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. Due to the popularity of acrobatic gymnastics, gymnastic instructors started performing acrobatic figures while diving into the water, before astonished spectators. Diving was introduced into the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis. It was solely for men and the competitors dove from a rigid platform. In the next Olympic Games, in London in 1908, diving from a 3 m springboard was introduced. Women’s diving made its debut at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, competing from a 10 m rigid platform. At the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp women participated in the 3 m springboard event. Synchronised diving was first included in the Olympic programme at Sydney in 2000, becoming the first change in the diving competition schedule of the Olympic Games since the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris.

Synchronised diving was deemed a success at the Sydney Olympics Diving was initially the preserve of gymnasts who practiced their performances over water.
The modern sport of diving began to take shape at the end of the 19th century in England and Australia and made its Olympic debut in 1904 with the men's 10m platform competition. At each of the next three Games a further discipline was added with the men's 3m springboard introduced in 1908, the women's platform in 1912 and finally the women's springboard came aboard in 1920. The meet maintained that structure until four years ago in Sydney when sychronised diving in each of the four disciplines was introduced. There have been two outstanding athletes in Olympic diving history. Italy's Klaus Dibiasi won a silver medal in platform diving at the 1964 Olympics before winning a hat-trick of titles between 1968 and 1976.

The Seoul Games provided a dramatic tale of competitive determination in the story of Greg Louganis. Considered a promising diver since the age of 11, when he won the Junior Olympics and began training under former Olympic diver Sammy Lee, Louganis had triumphed at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, winning the gold in both springboard and platform diving. "Now, at the age of 28," The New York Times noted in an Olympics preview, "he is no longer unbeatable and his motivation and physical soundness have wavered, but he usually dives well when it counts and he remains the best diver in history." During the preliminary round of 11 dives for the 3-meter springboard competition, Louganis misjudged his ninth dive a reverse 2 1/2 somersault pike and hit his head on the board. "The collision caused a gash that required five stitches to close," The Times reported. Yet after a quick suture, Louganis managed to complete his final two preliminary dives, assuring a spot in the finals. Louganis returned the next night and took the competition easily, leading in every round except one. About the accident, Louganis said: I didn't realize I was that close to the board . When I hit it, it was kind of a shock. But I think my pride was hurt more than anything else."

Former Rutgers Head Coach Otto Hill (right) and former swimmer Doug Nabholy In its 83-year history, the Rutgers Swimming and Diving program has been under the direction of just six head coaches - James H. Reilly (1916- 1957), Otto H. Hill (1957-1961), Frank W. Elm (1961-1993), Elizabeth Blau (1993-1996), Rick Simpson (1996-1997), and Chuck Warner (1997-present). Rutgers Swimming has enjoyed a proud history of success, achievement, and one of the finest sports traditions "On the Banks." Compiled after researching years of Scarlet yearbooks and Targums, this history is only a limited glimpse into the 82-year old tradition and recognizes only a very few of the hundreds of athletes who trained, competed, and contributed to the fine tradition of Rutgers Swimming.

ATHLETES TO WATCH... Chantelle Newbery, Australia At age 28, Chantelle Newbery is collecting firsts for Australia. When she captured the gold medal on the 10-meter platform at the Athens Olympic Games, Newbery became the first Australian diver to win an Olympic title. The 1.53 metre (5’0’’) diver was also the first Australian athlete to win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and the first Aussie to win a medal at the Goodwill Games. In Athens, she won the bronze medal in the synchronized diving event (3-metre) alongside Irina Lashko. Married to diver Robert Newbery, Chantelle gave birth to her first child, a boy named Jet, in January 2002. Chantelle considers herself to be very superstitious after she was involved in a car accident on a Friday the 13th. Loudy Tourky, Australia Loudy Tourky got rid of her demons at the 2005 Australian National Trials. For the first time since the Athens Games, the Israeli-born athlete attempted an armstand dive and succeeded. In the 10-metre platform event final in Greece, Tourky had missed her attempt and dropped to third place. That bronze medal was her second Olympic success after also placing third in the 10-metre synchronized diving event in Sydney. It’s been quite a journey for the 25-year-old diver who has always been afraid of heights. Tourky was frightened when she began diving off the tower but surely enough, she tamed her fears and she now enjoys coming down from the 10-metre platform. She will team up with Olympic champion Chantelle Newbery for the 10-metre synchronized diving event.

Sixteen Years in Sixteen Seconds will inspire all who read it.
"Starred Review", BOOKLIST "Starred Review", KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Handsomely illustrated and compassionately written without sentimentality, this picture book biography exemplifies what this genre should be: humanizing and meaningful. In 1932, 12-year-old Sammy Lee could only swim in the public pool on Wednesdays, the only day open to people of color, and Sammy was Korean American. Torn between his dream of diving and his father's urging him to become a doctor, Sammy managed to achieve both, despite barriers and prejudice, and was the first Asian American to win an Olympic gold medal. Scratchboard-style, sepia-toned paintings in wax covered acrylics create a textured effect both visually and contextually. The title refers to the 16 years he trained for the 16 seconds it took to perform his winning dive. This hero's inspirational story demonstrates determination and dedication by a man who never gave up and is still an active athlete today at the age of 84. "

As Anne Montminy ran away with the top spot in the women's 10-metre event at the Canadian Olympic diving trials, the drama was concentrated on the battle for the second trip to Sydney. Emilie Heymans used a strong finish to wrest the No. 2 spot from Myriam Boileau in a battle of former teammates, who didn't always see eye-to-eye. While both divers skirted around the issue after yesterday's event, CAMO coach Michel Larouche said there were still some hard feelings over Boileau's decision to leave CAMO and train in Calgary. "Myriam left because of Emilie," said Larouche. "They were rivals in diving and outside diving.

http://www.andover.edu/athletics/swimmingboys/swimhistory.htm
A History of Swimming When Flying Gull winged past Tobacco, swimming the length of a 130-foot pool in thirty seconds, Londoners were flabbergasted. The year was 1844, and swimming was already established as a popular competitive sport in England. But British athletes generally relied on the sedate breaststroke for traveling in the water, and were rather shocked at the exhibition staged by this group of North American Indians that had been invited to London by the Swimming Society in England.
Totally un-European
One observer found their swimming "totally un-European," declaring that the Indians "thrashed the water violently with their arms, like sails of a windmill, and beat downward with their feet, blowing with force and forming grotesque antics." Even though the style of Flying Gull and Tobacco was considerably faster, it was not copied, and British swimmers continued paddling along in their accustomed manner. It was not until some forty years later that the Indians' "totally un-European" style was reintroduced as the crawl: a stroke so rapid that it revolutionized competitive swimming.
