Allow me to share my newbie and my very first time to shoot a swimming competition.I'm not sure if I am doing the right/proper way in shooting in this kind of sporting event.

I like your first and second shots. When you shoot fly and breastroke, shoot from a lower position. I typically kneel for those shots. If you have enough lens reach, shoot some tighter shots.

Thank you very much sir,I will take note on that.I wish I can kneel closer,but only the FINA or accredited photographers where allowed on the poolside.I was just seating on the bleachers.:)

I like the 1st and 2nd shots for their composition and movement, we don't get the chance to photograph swimming much in the UK.
