One of my 3m dives had me hit at a slightly weird angle or something and it was unpleasant. I think my hands were angled or I hit at a slight angle instead of straight and the force caused my body to bend backwards which was unpleasant enough for me to not do that a second time. It may have been the same dive when the top of my head hit the water, that was uncomfortable too.

And jumping in feet first, I remember my feet and junk feeling quite a smack when I hit the water.

Nope, nope, nope.
