How To Shoot Inside Pool Pictures


I need help shooting sports pictures. I need to take pictures of swimmers in an inside pool and I am having trouble balancing the need for a flash with the water glare. Are there any filters that can help? I have a circ. polarizer. I have a nice zoom lens and a pentax 2x-7 and a zx-l. Thanks in advance.

  Try avoiding flash. Use faster film and don't use a polarizer. A polarizer will probably remove all glare making it look like the person is floating in outer space! Glare is not always a bad thing and in this case is needed to show that the person is, in fact, in water.

Good luck!
