Spent the winter trying to learn how to photograph swim in a dark swim gym...now it's out into the bright sushine with bright jersys! :)

How do I keep the vivid color and tone down the brightness? Or is it OK?

I don't see any issue with the colors, just keep an eye on the histogram to make sure you're not blowing out anything. And get the kids facing the other way :)

and it's a bit busy...try and isolate on one player at a time and if possible, watch cluttered and busy backgrounds.

Use M. Start with 100 ISO, 1250-1600 and f2.8. Check exposure on faces. Set your in-camera contrast down one. Shoot RAW. Also shoot from an angle that reduces the DR. You can't photograph bright sun and deep shadow without either losing shadows or blowing highlights.
