VA Tech's news site on the 5 Hokie divers who went to this year's trials.
A story from Pool & Spa News on the London Aquatics Center. (I have no problem with linking our readers to other online news - and would encourage it).  I wasn't clear whether Logan actually went to Worlds and swam at the London Aquatics Center, from the way he described it, although I suspect not.

A couple UNC students have webpages on the physics of diving.


I didn't find any youtube videos on the physics of diving, although I did find "the Physics of a Cannonball" (kind of a commercial for Pentair Pools):

Less about physics but at least more about the Olympics (and cute) - the USA swimmers (don't know if divers are there) made a music video:
