It’s been a long exciting championship. There are a lot of fast swims on the record for this year’s world championship and it appears there’s also a lot of momentum as we head into the countdown to Rio 2016. The immense team of professional and volunteers in Kazan, Russia, have done an excellent job in hosting the championships. Here’s a last look at some of the visual story from our photographer Mike Lewis in this final photo vault.
