Here are some facts and information on shooting swimming events;
1) Photographers who shoot at world- class swimming events should look into the culture where they will be shooting.
2) Because they are swimming photographers they will capture more striking images of athletes compared to other athletes.
3) Make sure to check for weight restrictions before traveling.
4) Expose your lenses to outdoor pool facilities before the event.
5) Anticipate limitations expecially when the event is televised or the Olympics.
6) The average swimming event consists of 3 Canon EOS 1D Mark 3 Canon bodies.
7) Lenses varying from 14 mm- 400 mm.
8) Because this shooting is swimming you would need scuba gear to put your camera underwater.
9) Make sure to arrive early to the shooting event!
10) Being a swimming photographer you need to communicate with photo marshals
11) Because it is a swimming shooting the laptop for photo editing will go somewhere on the pool deck.
All of this information is based on a swimming photographer working with Getty Images. I would highly recommend going to the website: http://imaginginfo.com/print/studio-photography/all-day event/How-to-Shoot-World-Class-Swimming-Events/3$3271.
