The plunge for distance is a diving event that enjoyed its greatest popularity in the 19th and early part of the 20th century, even being included as an official event in the 1904 Summer Olympics.[1] By the 1920s, it began to lose its popularity and slowly disappeared from U.S. and English swim competitions.
