Having signed more than 200 of the world\u2019s best swimmers, ISL is shaking up the sport with a dynamic, fast – paced team – competition format. The goal of ISL is to offer athletes more opportunities to swim competitively outside of the Olympic games, as well as financial support and year – round recognition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
