One of the things a lot of the folks in the media say about working big events is “every day feels like 5” and since we love swimming we’re psyched. Using this logic the world championships will last for 40 days. What an insane night at the Duna Arena in Budapest Hungary – seemed like every time we blinked another world record dropped. Leading the charge in bringing us the visual side of the event is SwimSwam’s photographer Mike Lewis. Here’s some of what he captured today on day 3 of the FINA World Swimming Championships.
