In a swimming pool, the diving boards (1- and 3- meter high) are used for diving, and the starting blocks, for swimming. The term "board" can be a short for "diving board" or "swingboard" as well as the flat part of the diving device, but it stands also for a floating board used as a leg-stroke exerciser in swimming training. 4, record 2, English, - diving%20board

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Dans une piscine de natation, les tremplins de un et trois mètres servent pour le plongeon et les blocs de départ, pour la natation. Le terme «planche», une partie du tremplin, sert parfois à désigner le tremplin lui-même; mais il peut aussi signifier une planche de flottaison dont les nageurs se servent à l'entraînement pour parfaire leurs battements de jambes. Par définition, les tremplins sont munis d’une planche souple et les plates-formes ou tours, d’une planche fixe; l'expression «tremplin à planche souple» devient donc vieillie. Un «plongeoir» est un bassin de plongeon; le terme ne doit pas servir à désigner un tremplin ou une plate-forme. 3, record 2, French, - tremplin
