Still trying to figure out exactly how I want to shoot swimming. I liked the results this produced over putting the flash up on a stand. The pool is horribly lit. Has a few lights out as well.

I used to shoot swimming a few years ago with no flash.. and I definately like the results now. jpsamora wrote in post #9219226  Well done! Did you do ETTL with your 430ex?

I actually use manual for everything including my camera. I am not 100% sure what my flash setting was, but if I had to guess . . it was zoomed to 105mm at 1/2 power.

You did a nice job. I'd still crank up the shot speed and ISO a little to freeze hand movement, but you did really well.
