Abid,

George Carlin says "Swimming isn't a sport, its a way to keep from drowning." But I know better. This is an excellent capture.

AH, nice capture. I like how nobody has hit the water yet (just a touch of the hands). I just spotted something that is really comical in this image. It looks like someone from the edge of the pool has reached out and grabbed the trunks of the guy in the top lane and isn't going to let him hit the water. LOL!

Nicely captured moment, AH. I have to say that, judging solely from the diving techniques, these swimmers placed (from front to back), First, Third, Second, Fourth. Maybe second and third are a toss-up, since Lane 3 has better form, but Lane 2 is closer to the water. :o) Nice color and action here. Which part of it is moving? Hmmm...
