I never do sports photography, but I was happy with these for a young man on the swim team. C&C is welcome...

Nicely done.

Thanks, it was fun to watch the kids, learn about swim competition and time the shots to get him above the water. It came down to the breast stroke and the butterfly if you wanted any good face shots. I couldn't get the back stroke down because of the angle... Maybe if I had a drone... Wife!!! Can I buy a drone!! Wife.. wife... Doh!!!

The first three are friggin great !!!! Not sure the extra frame on the last shot helps it at all. Seriously jealous, i would love to try a pool shoot.

His parents liked all of them.. I really like the last shot, but it is a wonderful example of what you like is not what the customer will want...

Yes, I used flash to fill in the shadows...85 degrees, sunny, and HOT!!! but the light is the light..

Good angles, especially the first one though I would try and take the full arm's length. Being a swimmer myself, it's nice to see the sport depicted in pictures!
