Views from Mesa – The Final Day 2 Photo Vault

Lot’s of fun and fast swimming here on the first full day of the 2015 USA Swimming Pro Swim Series in Mesa, Arizona. There’s no doubt that Michael Phelps’ return has sparked a lot of interest here in the desert, but there was also a lot of strong swims across the board – a good sign for the upcoming summer season.  Our chief swim photographer Mike Lewis is on hand helping us bring in some of the images the weekend.  Here’s the big day 2 photo vault.

Great question at the Phelps Press Conference too! 🙂
