This is selective color. Depending on your digital darkroom program you will need to select the part of the image you want to be B&W and then remove the color. What your exact menu choices are varies by program. I have a tutorial for this type of image at: http://photography.about.com/od/developingandprinting/ss/DigitalSpotColo.htm

The "how to" has been asked and answered countless times.
I will, however, offer one critique of the image.
If the point were to highlight the forground swimmer, I would NOT have the water colored. It distracts from the swimmer. Why have the water colored, and not the rest of the background?

It's called selective color. That picture is not particularly a good example. This question has been asked before on Yahoo Answers. Search, and you might find.

Select what you want to keep colour, copy that selection onto a new layer, then change the layer beneath it to b/w (making sure to keep your selection layer colour - change layer (not image) to b/w.
You can do a lot with layers.

The feature is called Color Accent.

However, I'm not sure how to do it with photoshop.
Good Luck!
