WOW! It’s been amazing here in Budapest, Hungary for the 2017 FINA World Swimming Championships. Sure, we all love swimming at SwimSwam, and we’ve been looking forward to this championship for a long time, but it truly exceeded our expectations. The swims were off the charts and the Hungarian hosts have set a great standard for future championships to meet. We are fortunate having Mike Lewis with us in Budapest lending his creative visual touch to our wall to wall coverage. Here are some highlights from day 8.
