I admit, all that I can think about is swimming. Even the indoor pool at my YMCA is suddenly insanely appealing. How lucky, then, that swimming pools are another oft-photographed subject among Hot Shot entrants.
Above, a great image from Carlo Van de Roer's "Swim" series. Carlo is a Hot Shot from Fall '07 and his work has been featured twice on 20x200 too. Carlo's work pays grand attention to form and function, to the color and feel of these man-made bodies of water, but he also pays particular attention to the human element and emotion in each frame.
Maybe he's working on another series now and I can accompany him on a shoot? A girl can dream.

I went to a water ballet this weekend. The dancers were splashing about like there was no tomorrow and I was in the front row—it was heavenly.
I wouldn't mind spending a day with Jill Greenberg on a shoot like this:
