Bellyflop is an action where a person jumps or dives into water with their front side striking the water first. The opposite action to a bellyflop would be a dive. A dive is an athletic movement where a person jumps into the water and enters it headfirst with their arms extended. Another antonym for bellyflop is swan dive, which is a graceful dive where a person leaps into the water with their hands extended forward, and their body straightened. Water entry is made with minimum splash and maximum elegance. In contrast to a bellyflop, swan dive is a beautiful and controlled motion that looks awe-inspiring to watch.
