Swimming Photos

March 24th 2009 07:00
Whether it is the compressed spring look they have at the start of a race, the way they hurl themselves into the pool, or the effect they have on the water as they tear through it, I have found that swimmers can provide one hell of a photo – if I can get the timing right, that is.

These are some more of the photos I took on Day 4 of the Australian Swimming Championships.

The following are a few photos of victory ceremonies (which probably are more appropriate in my previous post):
