Here’s another great photo vault featuring work from our chief swimming photographer Mike Lewis. Lot’s a fun and fast swimming in Mesa Arizona. It looks like it will be another fine night in the desert. Here’s some images from this morning’s prelims.

And then, there’s that strange photo of Josh Schneider. At first glance, I thought it was a backstroke photo.
HOW did Mike Lewis get that shot of Conor Dwyer entering the water from BELOW?! That’s a work of art!
