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):

The Other Swimming Champions

Mens 100m backstroke MD victory ceremony results

I arrived late to the Australian Swimming Championships on Friday night because the parking closest to the Aquatic Centre had already been filled by footy fans. The first thing I saw was the Victory Ceremony for the Mens 100m Backstroke MD (Multi-Disability). What a race it would have been to watch – two world records had been broken!
