I love wtaching the divers. They look impressive, and they are often picture perfect models of the art of the human body. I love that this is the one aspect of swimming where the brief is the suit of the art, and it really does show off the art of the body. It's not a sexual draw, its far greater that that, it is motion art.
As a swimmer and not a diver, they are very courageous. Watching them as they learn those dives underscores that. I know how hard it is to get a good dive off the blocks, what they do is just amazing.
