How to: dive positions

Like I said in one of my other blogs there are four main types of positions, layout, pike , tuck and free. All four are used for every dive, and they're kind of really important especially in competitions.
How to do each one:
Layout position is basically just a pencil jump, but more complex, you must keep your whole body straight not letting any part of your body fly, and NOT forgetting to point your toes.
Pike position is you folding your body in half and keeping it tight, and NOT forgetting to point your toes.
Tuck is you folding yourself again, but this time in a really really tight ball. The tighter you put yourself into a ball, the better. Also NOT forgetting to point your toes
Finally free, or straight, is just twisting in the air, this is when a diver can move more freely and not get penalized. Also NOT forgetting to point your toes.

All of these position can be really use full if done properly and if used appropriately.

Here's a picture that shows all four types,

the picture on the left is also a layout, but it's also part of the free.
