Start of the swimming season

OK Hans you asked for it   hope you don't get sick of theses it is a long season
Well today was our clubs time trials,where the kids swim all four strokes and there best times recorded, this helps the coaches utilize the kids in different meets. So I was able to get out and work off some of the rust from last season. Last year I shot with the D100 this year the D2H. All shots with the Nikon 70-200VR setting in cam were:
A mode
Continuous focus
single area focus point
ISO 200
WB Cloudy -2
Here they are
