Head first entry dives are allowed when?

  1. Only allowed in areas of the pool that are not marked as 'NO DIVING'

  2. Always allowed in deep water areas

  3. Never allowed in any pool areas

  4. Only allowed during swim competitions

The correct answer is: Only allowed in areas of the pool that are not marked as 'NO DIVING'

Head first entry dives may only be allowed in certain areas of a pool that are not marked as 'NO DIVING.' In most pool areas, head first entry dives are prohibited due to safety concerns. While it may be tempting to dive head first into deeper water, this can still pose risks to the diver and is not a safe practice in the majority of pool areas. Additionally, head first entry dives are typically only allowed during swim competitions when done under proper supervision. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the specific guidelines for when head first entry dives are allowed.
