Day 3 is a wrap and the fun and fast swimming continue. There’s a definite buzz in the air as loads of swim fans from the Charlotte area converged on the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center. We have our chief photographer Mike Lewis on the scene cooking up some cool imagery. Here’s some more of what he’s made.
