I agree. When I was swimming on the college team, at many meets we'd see the same dude show up with a really powerful zoom lens and take pictures. He frequently was not aiming at the action in the pool, but at random guys standing around the pool. He was not part of the media and no one was related to him. Now, it could have been perfectly innocent, but we all speculated that he was up to no good. However, we were in swimsuits, appropriately clothed for the context. Getting photographed at a swim meet is not out of the ordinary. Getting photographed when you are at a pool or beach without permission is inappropriate. Going into a locker or changing area to photo or video is crossing a big line. There is a huge difference between enjoying the look of a guy or gal in swimwear, and being a total pervert. If you see him again, I'd complain immediately. The scary thing is if he is that bold, where does he draw the line?
