This summer you and your friends are going to hold a Mini Water Olympics in the community pool. One of your friends is not comfortable using the diving board. What can you do to let your friend participate?

Question

Let your friend start in the pool alone
Cancel the diving events for the group
Ask your friend to cheer you on
Allow him to complete in all the other events

Answer 1

While cancelling the diving events is an option, it may not be the best solution as it may disappoint other friends who enjoy diving.

A better option would be to allow your friend to participate in all the other water events and activities that they feel comfortable with. Encourage them to join in and have fun with the other activities, cheering them on and supporting them throughout the Mini Water Olympics. This way, your friend can still be included in the fun and feel part of the event without having to do something they are not comfortable with.
