What are springboard specifications in Diving?

Section 2: Equipment

Heights: 1 m and 3 m above the water surface. The 3 m board is used in Olympic competition; the 1 m board is used in NCAA and other domestic events.
Board dimensions: Length 4.87 m (16 ft), width 0.50 m (1 ft 8 in). Constructed from extruded aluminum alloy (typically Maxiflex Model B or equivalent).
Fulcrum: Adjustable roller fulcrum positioned under the board. Divers set the fulcrum position to control board flexibility — further forward for a stiffer feel, further back for more spring. Range of adjustment approximately 0.45 m (1.5 ft).
Surface: Non-slip textured coating applied to the board surface. Divers may also use a chamois towel to dry the board between dives.
Overhang: The board must extend at least 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in) beyond the edge of the pool deck.

Olympic height: 10 m (32 ft 10 in) above the water surface. Training and junior platforms available at 5 m and 7.5 m.
Dimensions: Minimum length 6.0 m (19 ft 8 in), minimum width 2.0 m (6 ft 7 in). Multiple platforms may be installed on the same tower.
Construction: Rigid concrete or reinforced synthetic structure. The platform must not vibrate or deflect under the diver's weight.
Surface: Non-slip finish mandatory. Some facilities use rubberized matting for additional grip.

Swimwear: Competitive swimwear conforming to World Aquatics regulations. No loose-fitting fabric; suits must be form-fitting. Two-piece suits permitted for women but must not be excessive in coverage.
Chamois (shammy): Small synthetic towel used to dry skin and hands between dives. Helps maintain grip during takeoff. Typically carried on the board or platform and placed aside before the approach.
Tape and support: Wrist guards, athletic tape, and small braces permitted for injury management. Must not provide competitive advantage.
