Should I join diving in highschool if I've never done it before?

I've always wanted to do diving, but I don't know if I should join in highschool. Are most people that do diving in highschool already experienced?? I'm a gymnast, so I can do flips and stuff, but I'm still not sure.

Go for it! Most divers are gymnasts or atleast have been. Gymnastics will definitely give you a huge advantage. If I were you, I would do it without a doubt.

Am i too old at 60?

I dove club and high school and college. I think you should give it a shot. Diving is really easy, and usually the people on a high school team are not very good, so if you have never done it before you should fit right in.
Even if there are a few good people on your high school team there will be a wide range of skill sets, so youll fit in anyways.
You have nothing to lose.

Don't worry about being the one inexperience. If you join then you could ask advice from others who have experience and you could learn to dive better and faster too. Give it a try, no harm to it.

If I buy a used bathing suit, what's the worst thing it could happen?

You're golden. I was a gymnast when I was younger and I joined diving my freshman year, and ended up going to states as a sophmore! Even if you aren't that GREAT at it, it's a fun sport, and I've seen people that have no potential or skill at all dive and have a blast. It's fun. So just follow your heart and why not join a new sport. You'll make new friends and lots of great memories. :)

How do I swim??

Sure, it's awesome to try something new. And no, not all highschool divers (or swimmers) are experienced. Besides, I wouldn't worry about embarrasing yourself or anything because you can already do flips and stuff. You'll do great!
