The Big Ten Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships were in Iowa City this year which meant that I had the opportunity to shoot for some clients that I might not otherwise have had the opportunity to work for. in this case, I was hired by the University of Illinois’ and Rutgers University’s athletics departments to cover their respective teams.
I’ve shot college and prep swimming a few times so it wasn’t a particularly novel assignment—and in a bonus, I’d never shot a high level championship before so I’d never shot a swim meet where the swimming and diving *weren’t* going on simultaneously. Combined with the fact that we got the heat sheets well in advance, it was one of the easiest swim meets I’d ever shot.
