I've just covered a swimming meet for my wife's swimming club. I never done any type of sports photography, so I shot it with a spray and pray mentality and felt bloody silly, but I missed every single frame attempt as I know nothing about the timing of swimming. In the end I wound up with nearly 700 shots of water splashes, peoples backs and folks in superman dive poses, with the odd occasionally identifiable swimmer.
Must say that I find the rapid shutter clicks a bit embarrassing.
Is this a sign of a rank amateur,or what your average swim photographer does?
