With three days of competition live on the BBC, we will see the likes of Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, who won the gold medal in the team event at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships. At the same event she would go on to win a bronze medal in the 10 metre platform, the first world medal won by a British woman in an individual Olympic event. A third medal, another bronze, followed in the 10 metre synchronised platform event with teammate and synchro partner Lois Toulson.

Jack Laugher is another Briton who, along with his now retired partner Chris Mears, became Britain's first diving Olympic champions by winning a gold medal in the men's synchronised 3m springboard event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

Laugher also won silver medal in the individual 3-metre springboard in Rio and hoping to emulate at the games this summer.

Grace Reid and Noah Williams will also look to impress at the venue which brought them memorable Commonwealth titles two years ago.

Being held at Sandwell Aquatics Centre, Birmingham which was the home for the Commonwealth games in 2022.

The event will play a key role in the selection of the Olympic team this summer, aiming to emulate the success at the Tokyo Games, and some record-breaking World Championship performances.

It will also be used as a selector event for June’s European Championship team.

How do I start?

From beginners to experts, children to adults, diving courses are run at swimming pools throughout England, external, Wales, external, Scotland,, external and Northern Ireland., external

What is it?

• You jump into water from a platform or springboard at a range of heights while getting your body into a range of positions.
• There are two different types of diving boards used in competitive diving. In springboard events, divers launch into the water from a height of either 1m or 3m. In Platform diving you start from a firm board which is either 5m, 7.5m or 10m from the surface.
• Each dive is split into three parts - 'take off' can either be front facing or back facing, the 'flight' is a combination of up-to-four different body positions as you're going down and the 'entry' is how the diver enters the water.

Is it for me?

You'll obviously need to be comfortable with water. We'd recommend you learn to swim before you dive! But if you enjoy heights, an adrenaline rush and want to learn tricks and be flexible, then diving is for you. All you need to get started is a swimming costume and some tuition.

I'm ready to make a splash - what can I expect when I start?

• For beginners, it's important to get tuition from qualified coaches to make sure you learn the techniques safely.
• You'll need courage and will improve your flexibility and core strength through diving.
• But you can also practice on dry land using crash mats and trampolines at your local leisure centre.
• An hour's diving typically burns nearly 200 calories.
• Some diving centres offer diving taster sessions for people with a disability. Find out more on the Amateur Swimming Association,, external website.
