Because most of these swimmers have day jobs they practice at local Natatoriums at un-godly hours. This shoot was from 5:30am - 7:00am. I did catch three publications with this one shoot so it should pay off in the long run but still the power drink was in full effect that morning.
I hate shooting in Natatoriums, basically because of the water, humidity and they are usually dark. But with my ISO-friendly D3 things were not as bad as they use to be.
D3 camera with my 70-200mm lens pushed to 200mm. ISO is at 2500. I was in Manual mode so the camera would not get tricked by the reflection on the water. Shutter is at 1/800, aperture is at f/2.8 and I am sitting on the deck to get "under" the swimmer and get some "eyes"
