“The Diver” was originally installed for the swimming pool at Jordan Park in 1987, and consists of two panels, each eighteen inches high and eight feet long. It was moved to Fairmont Park Aquatic Center in 2006 when the Jordan Park pool was transformed into a skateboard park.
The image on the frieze is of a simplified human figure beginning in a standing pose and moving through the sequence of a dive, as reference to the activities inside the Aquatic Center.
