It was hot today in Santa Clara with temperatures hitting 100+ on the pool deck. But the heat made for some fast swimming in this final big tune up meet heading into the 2016 USA Olympic Trials and Rio Olympic games. Sun Yang posted a blazing 200 free to start off the night and the speed kept coming throughout the final session. SwimSwam’s chief photographer Mike Lewis is on hand in NorCal bring us images from the meet.

“And then, at the bottom of the article, after I learned about the graphic details of my own sexual assault, the article listed his swimming times. She was found breathing, unresponsive with her underwear six inches away from her bare stomach curled in fetal position. By the way, he’s really good at swimming. Throw in my mile time if that’s what we’re doing. I’m good at cooking, put that in there, I think the end is where you list your extracurriculars to cancel out all the sickening things that’ve happened.”
