Serena Williams’s terrible attempt at diving and swimming


In a charitable effort to make the rest of us feel better, tennis champion Serena Williams posted this clip on Instagram a few days ago.
Williams heads to Wimbledon as the number one seed and is bidding for a sixth singles title there, but even she’s not good at everything.

It is quite reassuring to see the US star - a supreme athlete and one of the greatest tennis players of all time - make an absolute mess of diving into a pool.
Williams wobbles uncertainly on the edge before awkwardly jumping in and attempting a few tentative swimming strokes.
We’re not saying we’d do any better, but it’s always good to see a sporting star looking as uncoordinated as the rest of us.
Only in the water though, she also posted a clip of herself doing one-handed cartwheels in the gym.
Sigh.

Culled
