Why is diving in to a swimming pool easier than block of ice?

It is actually easier to dive into a block of ice than a swimming pool. This is because ice has a higher density than water, meaning that it offers more resistance. When you dive into a swimming pool, the water moves out of the way to make room for you, creating less resistance and allowing you to dive in more easily. When you dive into a block of ice, the ice does not move out of the way as easily, creating more resistance and making it more difficult to dive in.
