It was a great week of swimming in Hawaii as the pool competition ends. For the up and coming Juniors this has been a chance to swim fast on the international stage while building new friendships and competitive rivals. Here’s some of what Mike Lewis was able to capture for us on the final night at the Keihi Aquatic Center on the island of Maui.

Funny “haha” as in making ‘fun’ of her BoBo? or” Fun to watch her” before she WINS her race?
This was my first time watching the Jr Pan Pac’s, and I absolutely loved it! All the competitors seemed to really enjoy the experience and rose to the occasion with great swims. Best of all was the tremendous team spirit and the fact that, with the pressure off, the athletes were just having fun doing what they love to do!
very good pictures all over the meet ! so nice to see the faces after the race or before the race , concentration , full effort , friendship , painted faces ! Incredible meet they all had .
And happy to see Soni again , she looks radiant in her new life ….
Great photos!
So funny to watch Sierra Schmidt before a race. 🙂
And also cool to see Rebecca Soni. US women’s breaststroke is missing her so much.
Funny “HaHa” – as in making “fun” of her BoBo?? or “Fun to watch her” before she wins the race?
