Question

how is a diver able to cut through water in a swimming pool

Answer 1

the particles of matter have space between them. This space is the maximum in the gases and the minimum in liquid. Thus, one cannot cut through a solid easily but a diver is able to cut easily through water in a swimming pool.

Answer 2

the intermolecular space is more in liquids than water and hence the diver is able to easily cut through the liquids as the intermolecular force is less.
