Swimfans are arriving in Omaha in droves and taking over, and Omaha has welcomed them with open arms. In case you can’t spend all day on Twitter, we’ve done it for you and pulled out the best pictures from the past few days. Also a few bonus shots from legendary swim photographer Tim Binning, including the picture above.
