Moving to the moon.

If I moved to the moon and tried to dive into a pool I would get a much different effect than I would on the Earth. Since so little gravity is pulling down on me I would stay in the air longer when I jumped off the diving board. Also when I hit the water I would not go very deep because gravity is not forcing my through the water. Also when I came up throught the water I would come up much faster because I wouldn't weigh as much and also my bouyancy would be stronger than the gravity. On earth it would be the opposite because MORE gravity is pulling down on me. I would not stay very long in the air and I would also dive much farther into the water because the gravity is stronger. It would be fun to swim on the moon!!

Nicely done. This is a very complete answer. I'd vote for you to join the moon swim team!
