All my kids swam competitively, with the earliest starting at four. Consequently, I've spent lots of time at pools. At the end of the year, most  teams put together a slide show accompanied by a boom box playing music. I thought, "I can do better than that." Consequently, I started doing sports photography, videography and producing videos.  Getting really great pictures became a bit of an obsession. It takes a good camera,  very fast lenses, a commitment to get down to floor level with my tripod and camera and occasionally getting soaked when kids do their flip turns.  Over the years, I've grown to appreciate the power, intensity and  beauty of swimming and diving.  Hopefully, the pictures below capture that.
