Back in 2010 I was selected to be the female diver for the London 2012 Olympics video game. The game was developed by Sega Studios Australia, so I went to their studio at the Gold Coast to do some filming in a snazzy Velcro suit with lots of joint markers linked to software. I have a few photos and videos from the fun day of shooting. The game will be released world wide on the 26th of ...

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121856740339434067.html BEIJING -- High-tech televisual bells and whistles have carried couch-based Olympic watching way beyond the mere reality of being here. Thousands of cameras are catching the action in China -- every one of them high-definition. Yet for a feat of engineering magic that dazzles as it baffles, nothing beats the DiveCam. On TV, a diver walks ...

What price for an Olympic Gold? How much would you pay? I recently came across an interesting article from The Science of Sport website. The article can be found here: www.sportsscientists.com/2008/08/beijing-olympic-medal-price.html It turns out that each bronze medal will set you back a cool Aus $15 million, while gold and silver will cost you about Aus $40 million! The point is ...

You are all excited because your High School or Summer Swim Club ordered a new "Cheeseboard" and it just arrived from the factory. You are an experienced and savvy diving board customer so of course you know to INSPECT the diving board upon arrival by opening the box to look for any shipping damage in the presence of the driver. As is usually the case, no shipping damage has occurred so now you ...

If you have a Duraflex Diving Board and the non-slip surface is starting to show signs of wear, the ONLY acceptable "fix" is to send your diving board back to the Duraflex Factory for inspection and refinish. Despite what you may hear from friendly sales people at Swimming Pool Supply Stores, there are NO acceptable products sold that you can use on your slippery (Duraflex) diving board that are ...

The final piece of the puzzle to create a "perfect" installation of a Duraflex Diving Board onto a Durafirm Diving Stand is to make sure the Roller Clamps ("C" shaped metal bands that hold the fulcrum roller to the fulcrum assembly) move between the 1st and 2nd "rib" of the diving board (on the foot wheel side) and between the 7th and 8th "rib" of the diving board on the non foot wheel side of ...

The second element of a "perfect" installation of a Duraflex Diving Board to a Durafirm Diving Stand is to make sure the Rubber Channels on the underside of the diving board are PARALLEL to the Slide Tracks of the Fulcrum Box.Look at the picture above and notice how the Rubber Channel on the outside edge of the diving board is parallel to the Slide Track of the Fulcrum Box. This is important ...

On Sunday the 9th of October I ran my first half marathon (21.1km) as part of the Marathon Festival. It was a great day for running - cold with a touch of rain at the end. It was a tough run especially the last 5kms. My final time was 1:32:38 I finished 363rd out of 7514 runners in the half marathon Females 20 to 39 years - I finished 45th out of 2736 ...

In order to achieve a "perfect" installation of a Duraflex Diving Board to a Durafirm Diving Stand, look for three things. #1) The Diving Board is LEVEL. In theory, the diving board should be level no matter where the fulcrum is set or or no matter where you "check" the board for being level. If we were to suggest a "standard" check -- it would be to set the fulcrum at the number "5" (on the ...

Deakin University recently announced the inaugural winners of the Deakin Alumni of the Year Awards 2011. I have been announced along with fellow alumni Benjamin Hayward as Young Alumni of the Year Award winners. My award was in recognition of her exceptional sporting achievements particularly in diving. http://www.deakin.edu.au/alumni/profiles/awards/briony-cole.php There were seven recipients of...

On the 17th of August I was off to Wellington, NZ for a week for a diving competition. This time things were different, this time I was going as an official. Well actually I had a few titles - Victorian assistant coach, Victorian team manager and judge. The Victorian team included 14 divers from 11 years to 18 years, also Helen and John Hillard and Tom Michaels as head coach.It was a great trip ...

I often get asked "what would be a good supply of Duraflex parts to keep on hand at my pool"? The answer really depends on how many diving boards that you have and if you have guard rails or not. So, in a nutshell, what follows is a list of parts that would make for a very nice emergency parts kit at a pool with 1-2 diving boards. I have also listed the tools and supplies you should keep on hand ...

Look at the picture above and (hopefully) you will notice that the diving board does not line-up correctly with the diving stand. If the fulcrum is rolled forward, it will roll off the rubber channels causing an unsafe "metal on metal" situation which is the quickest way to crack your board -- a $3,500.00 problem! This commonly seen situation occurs when a pool upgrades their diving board from a ...

ATTENTION ALL HIGH SCHOOL AND SUMMER LEAGUE DIVERS!As you are all painfully aware, not all high school and summer league diving judges are as "competent" as we would hope but one thing is for sure -- even BAD judges can see!We often see high school and summer league diving meets being judged (often reluctantly) by swimming officials who may not know much about diving. It is not unreasonable to ...

Now that Kimball is "retired" -- he travels around the country helping other coaches at camps and clinics and is in constant demand. It is amazing how some coaches still feel about him....

While travelling to China on our recent Diving Goodwill Tour, a member of our group joked about trying to find something in China that was "Made in America."Well -- we found all sorts of items that were "Made in America" -- namely Duraflex Diving Boards, Durafirm Diving Stands and 2-Ply Black Rough-tex (Non-Slip Diving Platform Surface). In Beijing at The Water Cube Olympic Pool and The National ...
