Over 250 international athletes from more than 50 countries – with over 150 Olympic and world medals between them – will be competing in Eindhoven from 11 to 28 November for a place in the International Swimming League Season 3 2021 Final.
The ISL currently consists of 10 teams based in Europe (UK-based London Roar, Italy-based Aqua Centurions, Energy Standard, and the Hungary-based Iron), North America (Cali Condors, DC Trident, LA Current, NY Breakers and Toronto Titans), and Asia (Tokyo Frog Kings).
Eight teams have advanced to the play-offs for a three-week round-robin, and the top four of those squads will compete in the third ISL final in December.

One of the nation's most popular activities, swimming is for anyone and everyone. From chilling out on the inflatables to doing several laps in the deep end, it's hard not to love a dip in the pool.
Swimming lessons are not just for children, most pools will offer adult only classes.
You can do it cheaply by becoming a member at your local leisure centre and most also offer a pay-as-you-go option.
You'll get an all-round workout, swimming works almost every part of your body.
Para-swimming is one of the most popular choices of activity for disabled adults and children. The sensory nature of water can help those with emotional or behavioural disorders and learning to swim is a great way to socialise and make new friends. Contact your local pool to learn about para-swim sessions.
