Swimming is for life USMS Nationals Photo Vault

There’s a lot of fast swimming going on in San Antonio Texas this week at the  Nationwide USMS Spring Nationals.  Swim Photographer Mike Lewis is on hand to capture all the fun and excitement. This is undoubtedly one of the best (most fun) swim meets on the planet.  Young and old, fast and slow; it’s a true celebration of the life long passion our sport affords us. Here’s our USMS nationals photo vault.
