Backdive off diving board again

In Junior High I was involved in diving and synchronized swimming. I did a backdive without thinking of my footing and scraped by back on the edge of the board and briefly hung there by the back of my suit before crashing into the pool. I soon gave up diving and swimming. A competitive friend joined the HS swim team and as I did not want to jeopardise the friendship I did not join the team. So now decade plus has passed and I want to face the fear and get back in the pool—to swim, to dive, to backdive! “Its never too late to be who you can be.”
