It is of course not possible for a photographer to be in the pool during a swimming competition, but that doesn’t stop a determined photographer getting the picture!
I have worked on this problem over a number of years, and got it down to a fine art.
The technique is not new. I had a housing for my f4s way back in the day when it was the top end of action photography. Remote and motion sensor photography also isn’t new. The only new thing about this is how quickly he can not put this out to his editors. Ten years ago the best we could hope for was an hour to develop the film, a couple of minutes to scan the negative, a few more to photoshop it, then a few more to email it where it needed to go.
The speed is great, and so is the shot, but there is very little new in the way of technique.
