The Central Masters Swimming Association has posted a number of pictures from Nationals. There are obviously many compositions which have an IL Masters element to them, but also random shots, shots of other Masters swimmers, and shots of the infamous Race Club. Take a peak while you wait for others to surface...

For those of you who might N-Joy a "swimmer's subculture" caption, have a look at the Home Page Splash online album collection of various shots used on the CMSA Web Site...

In defense of their use of flash: I took quite a few photos at the meet, and even with 800 speed film I could only get a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. It just wasn't very light in the natatorium. A flash would have helped for sure.
I have to say on first glance I am disappointed in the photos ... bad color ... and the site is horrid ... it is annoying to navigate and the thumbnails are way too small. Few "human interest" shots. Lots of flashes (which were hard on our eyes) for less-than-inspiring output!
The outfit they had at New England Champs was better!

Unfortunately, we may not be able to do it in the future at the New England champs. There wasn't nearly the interest in the pictures as we had hoped. (I.e., not enough people have purchased pictures to make it cost-effective.)
