When I was in the 5th grade, our class had a swimming party at some swim place and I dove from the high dive, went into the water crooked, strained my back, which knocked the wind out of me, and have had back troubles ever since.  So,

NO!!

No.  I close my eyes when I swim and don't like water up my nose. 

I think I have just realized why two years of swimming lessons is taking no hold on my son.  Some people just don't care for water.

I can dive, but have never tried the high board.  My older brother was the regional champ at age 14 for New England, back in 1969.  I swam on the team, but no diving competitively.

When I was in elem school, I tried for a long time to work up the courage to , at least , jump off the high board. (I dove off the low board )  Anyway, I finally did it---- plugged my nose and it seemed like a long way down. I hit the water hard and it was scary . Never did it again.
