High School swimming is over for another year; just when I felt like I was getting a handle on shooting over a decade of swimming events!

David dropped 4 seconds to swim his best ever (and as a senior, his last ever) 100 yd backstroke; breaking the minute barrier in 57.72 seconds for the prelims and placing 6th in the finals of boys sectionals.

It’s hard to catch a good view of backstroke because heads are mostly underwater and water is flying everywhere. In David’s case that is especially true because he swims more than 50% of the race literally underwater dolphin kicking (as seen in second photo below). David also did really well with his Butterfly but that’s a different story.

Most photos that follow taken at f/3.2, 3200 ISO, 1/800th. Huge thank you to Brian Hall for letting me borrow his 70-200 2.8 again this year!
