A great time: Mesa Pro Swim Series – The final photo vault

It’s been a great 4 day ride out in the desert at the Mesa Pro Swim Series stop. The team of staff and volunteers at the Mesa Aquatic Club have done an outstanding job of hosting a top notched event.  SwimSwam’s chief photographer Mike Lewis has been on the deck and in the water (setting up unique camera rigs) capturing the action.  Here’s the final installment in the 2015 Arena Pro Swim Series, Mesa, photo vault.

Fantastic shots again – love the underwater ones & the starts – so many muscles come into play just at the start .
