This could also work as two seperate good images if you would cut it in half. But its good as it is also.

Okay... I have 2 daughters and one son on the swim team. You would be hard pressed to convince them that swimming is not a "team sport" (races are performed as a team, scoring is based on team results and some races, such as relays, actually require multiple participants in a single lane to obtain a score).

Still... I get what everyone is saying. Those that couldn't think of swimming as a "team sport" were looking more for physical contact or interaction between team members rather than just team participation. I understand. The challenge, of course, did not say any such interaction was necessary. But I do appreciate the feedback.

I also appreciate the votes that were given! Thanks!

There's nothing in this image to indicate it's a team event. It's a swimmer for sure - but he could well be a morning swim. It could have been captured during a team event, but this image does not show it.
My point is, at least another swimmer taking over or looking on would have given the idea that there's a team here working together. Then you can argue that swimming can be a team sport - well, anything can be a team sport, but you have to show that it is.

lol now I wonder who has been here lately? Seriously nice capture but I just wonder if the helicopter could have been more isolated in the photo. Crop out from the guys at the bottom all the way to the left. IMHO of course.

Need to either lose the people or get them fully in frame

Awesome. I personally feel that the people in the image detract from the impact though.
