What's that mini dive called at the swimming pool where you crouch and go in head first?
It's often prohibited at pools because if the waters not deep enough you can break your neck. I just can't remeber what that type of dive is called... Any ideas?

its called a shallow dive for people who don't swim competitivly. Its called a START for a racer

These girls on my swim team were doing these one day at practice and called them "poop dives", but I think they coined that term themselves. I guess you would call it a rotational cannonball, perhaps?

probably a "Block" used by swimmers during swim meets.
