ReplyDeleteExcellent swimming photos Kayla. In fact, I would like your permission to use one of your photos on my website. I created the Wichita Swim Club logo and would like to use the photo of Elizabeth Strother (after finishing the her leg of the 400 free relay) as an example of how the logo is used. I will give you full credit, of course!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
