Brazil hosted some of the top swimmers from the U.S., South Africa and Australia this weekend for the Raia Rapida, a sprint-based format meet with multi-round knockout races.
You can find our full recap of the meet here, but you can also get an inside glimpse of the action with this vault of photos from Satiro Sodre, which captures the meet format and the beautiful setting of Rio de Janeiro, where the world’s best will once again convene in just two years for the 2016 Olympic Games.
