André Kertész, Underwater Swimmer, negative 1917, printed 1970s
From the Getty Museum:

Jagged reflections strike the water in electric bolts of light as a swimmer glides through the pool, his curious form looking like a disembodied crab claw. His striped trunks help identify his human form as his head disappears in the movement of the water. The swimmer casts a deep shadow on the shallow bottom, while other shadows melt into the fluid scene, circling his body like swarming black fish. In Andre Kertész’s split-second exposure, the swimmer’s extended body seems to hover suspended in the water.
