Diving - Your never to old!

Meet Pearl Heenan, an 81 year old female from Brisbane Australia. I guess you could say she's just your regular OAP. Old, wrinkly and probably smells of a slight stench of urine. Oh yeah, and she dives! No not dies (well she will eventually) - DIVES.

Yes that's right. Feast your eyes on some of the most amusing, yet somewhat 'elegant' dives you will ever see grace a swimming pool. Surely, one of the most ignored sports on the planet now has an icon, a hero with which it can begin to promote the sport to young and old alike.

The video itself is cut from the Sky Sports show 'Soccer AM', who should take full credit for unearthing Pearl's amazing talent. Belly flops, back flips, side turns, Pearl really has it all. The video shows her graceful physique, body hugging swimsuit and all, from a variety of shots and angles that really do give full credit to the craft and technique Pearl possesses when it comes to the board.

Watch it, admire it, and then pop down to the local pool and try emulate this marvellous feat.
