Women's diving in the Olympics started with Women's diving at the 1912 Summer Olympics, won by Greta Johansson. In the first Olympic diving competition in 1904, American George Sheldon won gold in platform diving. The first diving competition was held in 1885, in Germany. By 1837, six indoor pools with diving boards had been built in London, England. The competitive sport of diving has included the 10-meter dive as an Olympic event since the 1904 Summer Olympics. A typical requirement for indoor facilities is that they must provide 5 metres (16 ft) clearance above the highest diving board or platform, so that divers do not hit a ceiling structure. Organizations that set standards for diving facilities include FINA which governs international competitions, and, in the United States, NFHS, NCAA, and USA Swimming. In the United States, a 10-meter platform is required for full NCAA competition, although two schools may hold a dual NCAA meet at a facility lacking one if both schools agree. This is usually the last feature of an athletics complex required for training and competition in the full program of Olympic swimming and diving.

Once again will be pricey I’m winter but worth. Highland Beach is a town wedged in between Boca and Delray. However they now love Delray coast down to Boca. I have friends that used to come and stay in Ft Laud and convinced them on Boca which is a bit more upscale. I now live up in the Boca area so if you don’t want heavy tourist congestion etc avoid Miami area.
