for this shot, prefocus on the top far edge of the closest block, then move the focus out just a bit further so that the focus will be where she's diving. as for exposure, meter off the middle of the pool and adjust your settings manually; that way you'll avoid the light coming through the window throwing off your exposure. it doesn't matter if the window light is blown out as long as the first diver is exposed correctly. it's a nice composition. keep at it.

I think alans_world may be right about shooting from the other side. It looks like there was more light coming from that side. Still, I think you did a good job with what you had to work with. You captured a nice slice of the action.

I am far from a expert. Judging from this photo, and from the angle of your other shots, it would seem to me standing on the other side of your swimmers might have helped. I noticed that big window and the added outdoor light might have given you more options with your settings.
BTW Cool about the newspaper..

I think a flash may have helped, but probably only if you stopped it down a little. Full flash may have overpowered the girl closest. As it was I think the lights and the windows made this shot difficult. Can probably be made even better with some PP, but I'm not the person to show you how.
