I used to dive really fast. But that was before they revoked my diver's license.

I thought this HAD to be a Premier League Soccer thread - Probably about Chelsea ?

32 ft per second per second, reaching about 120 mph if I dive long enough, and hope ever second per second that they didn't drain the pool.

Actually Aussie Football (kickers and runners, not dribblers) Associations are now starting to worry about this holding up the game.

As noted above, I no longer dive. But I gyre and gimble really fast. In fact, I'm going to hike over ro the wabe this morning and do a little gyring and gimbling to start my day.

Less that 1 fps (optimally 0.5 fps) coming up.

Papaire--you beat me to it yesterday. But you need to account for any push off, unless you just sort of tipped off the end of the platform. So probably you dive somewhat faster than 32'/s/s. That also makes it less likely the pool will be drained before you get there; so enjoy.

No, I often find that folks have drained or are draining what I'm diving into. I could, in fact, take it personally if I were so inclined.

I don't go into scuddzie dives nearly as often as when I was single...

I've been in many low dives in my time but I'm getting out of the habit now.

It's not how FAST that matters, it's how DEEP!!!
