Tips For Doing A Backflip Into Your Pool

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

If you have your own pool with a diving board, doing different tricks and jumps off the diving board can be one way to have a lot of fun, but while a lot of the dives and jumps that look really extreme are actually quite simple to execute, one of the more difficult ones to accomplish is the backflip - but in spite of the fact that the backflip is a bit more difficult, it can also be easily accomplished, as long as you know the right steps to take in order to learn.

Getting comfortable jumping outward from the diving board is the first thing you will need to do in order to do a backflip into your pool; one of the most dangerous things about doing a backflip into the pool is the opportunity it creates for you to hit your head on the diving board if you do not jump out far enough, so practice standing with your back to the pool and the front half of your feet on the edge of the diving board, then jumping out into the pool as far as you can go.

Of course, distance is not the only thing you will need in order to do a backflip into the pool; you will also need height, so once you have gotten used to jumping far out into the pool, you should start practicing jumping high into the air while also jumping out into the pool.

Once you have gotten to a point where it is comfortable for you to spring high and far into the pool, it will be time to try the backflip; push off in the same way you have been doing, but flip your legs over your head as if you are doing a backward dive, then keep the legs going as far as you can before you hit the water!

Although it might take you some time to get your backflip just right, practicing with the distance and height of your jump first will ensure that you are in no danger of hitting your head on the diving board, and from that point, it will just be some trial and error until you get the backflip just right!
