The '''diving board''' is a [[build mode]] object in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It must be placed on the side of a [[swimming pool]], and must stick out over the water.
In general, how well Sims dive, and how likely they are to change their minds about diving once on the board, depends on their [[body]] or [[Athletic (skill)|athletic]] skill. However, a Sim with high Body/Athletic skill may still do a poor dive, and may still get nervous and decide not to dive. Players can put the diving board on a higher floor in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', but Sims will not jump properly, as in ''The Sims 2'', Sims will chicken out of the board or teleport to a nearby area on the upper floor, whereas in ''The Sims 3'', Sims will teleport to an area nearby on the upper level.
Sims will use a diving board autonomously. This could cause a minor problem in ''The Sims'', as a Sim who wanted to dive would not get out of the way of a Sim who was trying to walk off the board. The Sim who wanted to leave the board would be stuck until the Sim who wanted to dive changed his or her mind and walked away.

}}Sims who have low [[Body]] skill or are rather shy may tremble on the diving board, and may even chicken out and back off the board rather than jump. Unlike ''The Sims'', they will not get stuck on the board if another Sim is waiting to use it, as the Sim who is waiting to use the board will move away from it. A visibly [[Pregnancy|pregnant]] Sim cannot use a diving board.

}}The diving board returns in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' in [[The Sims 3/Patch 42|Patch 42]],<ref>[http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/75/591849.page#9505447 SimGuruGraham's post on diving boards in a patch]</ref> which is relevant to ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]''. It is similar to the diving board in ''The Sims 2'' but costs more and has some more interactions.
Sims can drench nearby Sims who are not swimming when diving into the pool, making them soaked. The larger a Sim is, the bigger the splash the Sim will make in the pool. Stunt moves such as "cannon balls" or "swan dives" may be possible. Sims will not chicken out of the diving board or tremble on it.
Diving can help a Sim to increase the [[Secret skills|hidden ''Diving'' skill]]. The Diving skill was originally available in ''[[World Adventures]]'', which can be only gained by using the dive wells. Patch 42 introduced the skill to users without ''World Adventures'', and also allowed [[child]]ren to gain the skill. The patch also changed the maximum skill level from 5 to 2. This caused Sims who tried to use the diving board to reset if they already had more than two points in the diving skill.<ref>[http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2012/11/sim-cant-use-the-diving-board.html Crinrict's help blog]</ref> This glitch was fixed in [[The Sims 3/Patch 50|patch 50]].

Diving platforms were introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: Get Together]]''. They must be placed by the side of a pool, but unlike diving boards, do not stick out over the water. Sims can use these platforms to jump or dive into [[pool]]s. Sims can jump into the pool normally, or do a backflip, cannonball, or a swan dive.
