She started diving on a dare and it became her life’s passion. Jennifer Mangum grew up diving in her home state of Illinois and continued diving through high school and college.

Jennifer says it is diving that has helped her recover from serious illnesses much quicker than most people, as it motivates her to get up and get going. It is also diving that she credits for travelling to places that she may never have been able to visit.

Off the board, Jennifer has served as Secretary for U.S. Masters Diving, a FINA official and judge at the World Championships and as a Safety Instructor for USA Diving 2008-2012. She has been a Diving Coach for over 25 years and is an Advanced Placement Physics Teacher at Lee High School in Midland, Texas, where she also serves as the Head Swimming and Diving Coach for MISD.

When somebody asked her a few years ago how long she was going to keep diving, she said until she got into the Hall of Fame through the Masters Division. Well, Jennifer, now that you’ve made it what are you going to do next?
