An invert diving platform affixed to the structure of a common pool ladder anchored to the deck of a pool for providing an elevated platform above the water level for diving. The platform is rigidly attached to the parallel railings of the ladder in a generally horizontal position. The platform is rigidly attached to the curved rungs by two pair of opposed clamps attached to opposed ends of the platform. The clamps are vertically adjustable on the railings of the ladder to allow adjustment of the height of the platform. The clamps attach to railings having various shapes, dimensions and angles to provide rigid support for the platform. An incline plane may be attached to the platform at an angle descending into the pool to provide a slide. A bracing member is connectable to the steps of the pool ladder to provide horizontal stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The railings of the existing common pool ladder are used to support a platform, slide or combination platform and slide.
The use of the instant invention allows a diving platform or slide to be added to an existing pool without any additional construction or expense.
Two pair of opposing clamps attach to a portion of the railings to provide attachment of the platform to the railings.
Support members extend from each of the four clamps to support the platform.
The support members insert into aperatures along the side of the platform.
The support members are of sufficient length to provide adjustment to accommodate varying distances between the railings of the pool ladder.
A bolt-like fastener connects the two halves of each clamp to hold it rigidly to the railing to provide rigid support to the platform so as to support the weight of an individual.
In a similar manner a slide means is attached to the platform for support.
A step apparatus may be added to permit ascent to the platform.
The height of the platform on the pool ladder railings will only be limited by the configuration of the railings of the pool ladder.
Various configurations of the railings are utilized however the width of the ladder is generally standard so that the width of the platform should accommodate almost any pool ladder.
The platform shall also have varying apertures to accommodate the support members of the clamps so the length of the platform should be adaptable to any pool ladder.
The slide connects to the platform and is further braced by connection with the lower portion of the ladder to provide stability.
An objective of this invention is to provide a platform for attachment to most common pool ladders.
An objective of this invention is to provide a platform apparatus for adjustable attachment to railings of most common pool ladders.
An objective of this invention is to provide a clamping means connectable to the railings of most common pool ladders for suporting a horizontal platform.
An objective of this invention is to provide a slide attachable to the platform to provide angled descent into the pool
