Answer
Use Wool Mix (Used to be Martha Gardener's Wool Mix - but I think they renamed it). Directions are on the bottle.
The main thing is to make sure that you dry it flat. Don't hang it up. Mum used to dry ours on the trampoline. I use a bra bag pegged across the top of a clothes airer to make a platform to dry it on.

To be on a diving team in college, do you have to be a really good swimmer?

also, i am a gymnast and cheerleader, do you think those abilities to flip and twist will help in diving?
also is it frightening as a beginner?
Answer
No, you don't have to be a top-level swimmer to dive, although you should be comfortable in the water.
As divers, we used to cross-train on trampolines, so I guess the same principle would apply going the other way. If you already have good motor co-ordination from gymnastics and cheerleading, doing the actual movements in diving should come real easy. You'll need to work on the takeoffs, but once you're in the air it'll be similar. You'll just have to get used to 'landing' on your head! ;-)
The only part of diving that I ever found scary was going up to the highest platforms (7.5 and 10 m, 24 and 33 ft), but that's because I don't much like heights. I was usually OK off the 5 m though, and none of the (junior, u18) competitions I ever entered had people going off the 10 m. I doubt you'll get sent up the top boards as a beginner, anyway, but if you've mastered the moves on the lower boards, then why not? It's not as if you hit the water that much faster from 7.5 as from 5 m, or from 10 as from 7.5 m.
Good luck with it.
