The runners from the Tour of Tameside liked my photos of them and a few of them were happy for me to come down and photograph them swimming in an aquathlon event at the local swimming baths. This was a tough sport to photograph, it involved fast shutter speeds to capture the action and a high-ISO to combat the badly lit swimming baths. It also involved a bit of luck as the swimmers swam past you had to hope the popped their head up to breathe at the right time for you take a shot, and half of the time they popped up facing the opposite direction to you.
