Dry Land Diving

How to keep the form needed for Dominion diving honours, without a tepid bath in which to practise during the winter months, is demonstrated here by Gerry Fitzgerald and Dawn Lett of Gisborne. On a hillside up Russell Street way they hare a springboard from which they can do any of their complicated gyrations—provided they remember to land feet first—in a pile of sawdust.

Up and over, twisting, turning, spinning, Gisborne's top divers show their paces dangerously close to the ground. But—catlike—they never fail to hit the sawdust pile the right way up—no mean feat in the limited air space they have at their command.
