About International Swim League: The ISL is a series of 7 events held across Europe and the United States.  There are eight teams in all featuring multiple nationalities in each.  Four are based in Europe and four in the US.

Each team has 12 men and 12 women in their starting line-ups at each meet taking part in an equal number of men’s and women’s races together with two mixed relays.  Prize money is equal and a star-studded line-up features 20+ individual gold medallists from the 2019 World Championships including Adam Peaty who races for London Roar.

The London leg features the European sides only – London Roar, Aqua Centurions (based in Italy), Energy Standard (Turkey) and Iron (Hungary).

Racing takes place in a pool that is 25 metres long, half the traditional distance used at the Olympics and world championships.  Race distances are 50, 100, 200 or 400 metres with relays all 4×100.  Each race features two swimmers from each of the four teams competing on the night.  Where swimmers finish is key to score points for their team.

International Swim League London precedes the final meet which takes place in Las Vegas on 20-21 December.
