As far of now, not a single "10 meter diving platform" has its own article, meaning that this list is in fact a list of non-notable subjects. The Banner talk 11:03, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
I invite anyone to double-check this but I believe these are all currently available at some time of the season or another (and I could have somewhat misunderstood the premise, but evidence for all of these is online as far as I know):

Central Unified Aquatics Complex | Fresno, CA | Central USD | |

North Palm Beach Pool | N. Palm Beach, FL | City of N. Palm Beach | But this page on North County Aquatic Complex states there are 1m and 3m diving boards, not 10m. Is this where North Palm Beach Swim Club is? --Doncram (talk) 06:05, 29 April 2021 (UTC) |

There's a Facebook page by that name but I dunno, that might not even be the same pool with the specified apparatus! I wasn't really intent on being responsible for figuring all that out, since particularly for a lot of facilities (particularly government-owned) you may very reasonably have one name for the park it's located in, a second for the aquatic facility, a third for the park or school district that it's part of, a fourth for how it's known to the club you would join to access or help manage it - and on top of that every year or two one or the other will change, it's maddening! (Maybe I was thrown off by the conspicuous use of the word "Central", the exact identity of which is which remains confusing to me too.) Outside of the three of these I've actually attended I can't do much to "clear up" any of this confusion although the majority of them can be found on swimmersguide.com.

I want to combine the City and State columns and drop the state flag icons. There is a prohibition or at least a general disdain for use of spurious use of flag icons in list-articles. Here is nothing really important about the states involved; this is not a list of state-owned facilities competing against each other. I would replace the columns by a single "Location" column and begin to add coordinates, too. --doncram 16:06, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved to List of 10-meter diving platforms in the United States — Amakuru (talk) 10:51, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
List of sportcentres with 10 meter diving platforms in the United States → List of 10 meter diving platforms in the United States – Move in order to drop the term "Sportcentre" which is not a U.S. term. And, the list focuses on diving platforms, it is not attempting to describe the entire aquatic facilities. Editor User:The Banner moved this page to the current title without discussion, which was okay to do, but I think the original name was better. I do get their point that the rows of the table give names of facilities, not names of individual diving platforms. I don't know of any having a formal name or nicknames which could be used, but a column simply repeating "10 meter platform" phrase could be inserted, to be replaced by a nickname or formal name if any becomes known. I may or may not do that right now. But again, the article is about diving platforms. doncram 19:51, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
more precise than... enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article. However we approach this, it is expected that the "list of platforms" article will list the venues and facilities containing them. Just, please, per its lead make that List of 10-meter diving platforms in the United States, with a hyphen; it's a compound adjective requiring one (and somewhat confusing without it).

Universities and colleges which field mens or womens diving teams are the places having 10m diving platforms, but these are not that common, I think. There is a "Collegexpress.com" list of schools strong in women's swimming and/or diving, and a corresponding men's list.
NCAA sets standards for championship participation for Division I schools: Qualifying Standards for all swimming events and also 1m, 3m, and platform diving, requiring 300 points for men and 225 points for women. But do all Division I schools compete? Do any Division III or other schools compete? --Doncram (talk) 04:53, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
This video on "2013 Kristian Ipsen - Stanford University - Platform Diving - NCAA Diving Championships" found in searching "platform diving Stanford University" covers Kristian Ipsen's 7-meter platform dive, then going up to 10-meter. At Indianapolis. At Indiana University Natatorium, which has hosted _hundreds_ of championships. "Kristian has always been a springboard diver and competed at the Olympics on the 3 meter springboard. Learning platform diving in college was new to him." --Doncram (talk) 04:58, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
There are about 52 members of Category:College swimming venues in the United States. For Louisiana, the LSU Natatorium (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) article explicitly mentions "a championship diving well with one- and three-meter springboards and five-, seven- and 10-meter platforms". Maybe "championship diving" is the key phrase to include platform diving? --Doncram (talk) 05:02, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
NCAA announces future sites for swimming & diving championships in Women's Div 1, Men's Div 1, Div 3, Div 3 mentions the usual ones: including one or more meets at 11 sites:
There are 34 NCAA Division II schools with diving programs per "berecruited": Complete List of Division 2 Diving Colleges. Actually that may not require them all to have platforms, including because divers might practice/compete elsewhere in the area, right?
There are 144 NCAA Division III schools with diving programs: Complete List of Division 3 Diving Colleges, including Wesleyan BTW.
Per berecruited.com, not exactly agreeing:
"There are 565 colleges that have active intercollegiate swimming and diving programs. The sport is huge at the NCAA level, but not so big at the NAIA level where only 23 schools compete." Note, "Some college swim teams focus exclusively on swimming recruiting and choose to not have a diving program at all."
NCAA Division I. 198 schools compete with 135 men's swimming and diving programs and 197 for women. 9.9 scholarships are available for men and 14 for women.
NCAA Division II. 90 colleges offer swimming and diving programs. 66 men's teams and 89 women's teams compete. There are 8.1 scholarships awarded for both men and women.
NCAA Division III. 254 schools at this level have competitive swimming and diving programs. 251 for women, 218 for men. No athletic scholarships are available at D3 institutions but other forms of financial assistant may be available.
NAIA 23 schools compete --Doncram (talk) 05:25, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Types of dives for springboard and platform diving. Not armstand ones require platform, are performed on 5, 7 [or is it 7.5?], or 10 meter platforms. --Doncram (talk) 05:36, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
How deep does my pool need to be for diving? Doug Cook on March 31, 2016: "Platform diving competition takes place at 10 meters, though 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7.5-meter heights are also typically provided for training and warmups. Occasionally, a ½-meter platform is constructed for divers to practice takeoffs. A facility without a 10-meter platform can host a platform diving event on a 5-meter platform if the teams competing agrees on this height." --Doncram (talk) 05:46, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
