Taking to the air

 The relay swimming race sets the scene for this series of diving photos.  As swimmers race to complete the final leg of the relay, they dive from the pontoon in the middle of the baths and fly out over the water.

A dive is a thing of beauty.

A dive is a commitment.  There's no going back.

And diving has always been with us.  Here's a Greek fresco dated 470BC: Diver, Paestum, Italy.
