Executing a swan dive involves converting potential energy (stored energy due to the diver's height above the water) into kinetic energy (energy of motion as the diver accelerates downward).
The diver's gravitational potential energy just before the dive is at its maximum, as the diver is at the highest point in the dive and has the most gravitational potential energy. This potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy as the diver falls during the dive.
No, a swimmer standing on a diving board is an example of potential energy, as the swimmer has the potential to move and convert that stored energy into kinetic energy once they dive into the water.
Its a bad example, but some potential energy is involved. You convert chemical energy from the fuel to kinetic energy and heat energy. The kinetic energy drives you into the water. There the car sinks because of the height difference and gravity. This is a form of potential energy. A better example would be a person driving up and down a mountain. When driving up a mountain you store kinetic energy into potential energy. On the way down you regain the potential energy you stored, which results in a higher kinetic energy when driving down.
The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that potential is energy that has the opportunity to become kinetic. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.examples of potential energy- a spring being squeezed; When you are at the top of the diving board getting ready to dive; winding up before you throw a pitch (in softball); etc.examples of kinetic energy- a person running; a car speeding; falling down the stairs; etc.
Kinetic energy of a body depends on:(a) Its mass;(b)Its velocity, K.E=mv2/2...And its potential energy depends on,(a)Its mass(b)Acceleration due to gravity(c)Height from reference point (P.E=mgh)(This situation describes only when gravity is involved. When other forces are present, such as coulomb, nuclear forces etc, there is potential energy associated with the forces too.)Kinetic and potential energy are affected by various factors. Let's dive into them. Kinetic energy is the energy an object produces when moving. Due to gravity, kinetic energy is affected by the object's mass and velocity.
Executing a swan dive involves both kinetic and potential energy. When the person jumps off the platform and falls towards the water, they possess potential energy due to their height above the water. As they dive and move through the air, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of motion.
The diver's gravitational potential energy just before the dive is at its maximum, as the diver is at the highest point in the dive and has the most gravitational potential energy. This potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy as the diver falls during the dive.

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of some object. So any object in motion, has potential to be in motion, or has both has mechanical energy. Your car in motion has kinetic energy and potential for more kinetic energy in the gasoline that it runs on. So your car has mechanical energy. Or you up on the three-meter diving board at the pool have potential for kinetic energy when you take a swan dive off that board. You have mechanical energy there. But, bottom line, pretty much any object that is either in motion or can be put into motion has a form of mechanical energy.

The diver's gravitational potential energy just before the dive will depend on the diver's mass, the height from which they are diving, and the acceleration due to gravity. The potential energy can be calculated using the equation PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the diver, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the dive.
Right at/before contact with the water's surface (if they are jumping form a high point)
Water stored behind a dam is an example of potential energy. This potential energy is due to the gravitational force acting on the water, which can be converted into kinetic energy when the water is released through turbines in a hydroelectric power plant. This kinetic energy is then transformed into electrical energy as the turbines turn generators.
Carbs are needed to dive you energy
Kinetic energy from a moving fluid (like wind or water) turns a turbine by rotating its blades. This rotational motion is then converted into electrical energy by a generator connected to the turbine.
