​FloSwimming caught up with Brazil's ​Felipe Lima​ Saturday night at the 2017 Mare Nostrum in Monaco. Lima broke the Monaco meet record in the 50m breaststroke with a blazing fast 27.05 -- only five one-hundredths of a second off of his 2017 world's fifth fastest time (27.00) from the Maria Lenk Trophy (Brazilian National Championships) back in May.​

Lima chatted about his training and preparation for the 2017 FINA World Championships, working with ​Sergio Lopez​ and ​Kevin Cordes​ at Auburn University, and his take on the recent developments and drama surrounding the CBDA -- Brazilian Confederation of Aquatic Sports.​
