Devin couldn’t help but smile back at the professor. Couldn’t have said it better myself was pretty high praise. He tried his best to listen to what his classmates were saying, but his mind kept wandering back to the pool and when they were going to use it. As the professor flew up on his broom for the demonstration, Devin jolted back to keeping his full attention on the professor. He watched closely as the professor demonstrated proper technique for the maneuver. So the pool wasn’t for swimming in? What a shame. He quite fancied the idea of splashing into the pool from that height, even without a broom. Perhaps he should get into the swimming kind of diving as a sport for exercise. It would be fun to learn all the fancy flips and tricks.
Devin chose the 15 foot diving board for his first dive, and climbed up when it came to his turn. Kicking off from the platform on his broom he pushed forward to about a 30 degree angle. As he neared the water, instead of pulling up when he thought he should he subtly waited just a little too long to pull up, and totally on purpose but trying as hard as could to make it look like a total accident hit the water with a SPLASH and rolled off his broomstick. Hey, the water was actually a pretty nice temperature. Could he splash around in here for a while? No, he would be getting in the way of all the other students who were waiting for their turn to dive. He wouldn’t want to be a hazard for anyone who didn’t wait for him to get out of the pool. So, he made his way over to the edge of the pool, climbed out, and grabbed his broomstick. A huge grin spread across his face as he walked over to get in line again, still dripping wet from head to toe. This was fun!
