The International Swimming League begins season 3 today in Naples, Italy, with a standard quadrangular meet. The teams competing Thursday and Friday include Season 1 champions Energy Standard, the DC Trident, the Aqua Centurions, and the Toronto Titans.

Energy Standard placed second overall in the Season 2 final in 2020, and in 2019 they were the league champions. Today begins each team’s quest to advance to the playoffs in Eindhoven, which will see 8 teams compete for 4 spots in the Final, which will take place in early 2022.

Ryan Hoffer and Arno Kamminga make their debuts in the ISL today, representing the DC Trident and the Aqua Centurions, respectively. Both should have an immediate impact on their team’s competitiveness in the league. Hoffer will swim the 50 and 100 freestyles individually, as well as the fly leg on one of DC’s medley relays. Kamminga will debut in the 200 breaststroke and on the 4 x 100 medley relay, though he is not in the 50 breaststroke.

Evgeniia Chikunova will also make her rookie debut for Energy Standard, swimming the 200 breast, 50 breast, and 4 x 100 medley relay.

Kasia Wasick makes her debut as a Toronto Titan after spending the prior season with the New York Breakers. Today, she races the 50 freestyle and on the 4 x 100 freestyle relay.

Energy Standard had a solid showing with 3rd and 4th place finishes, earning 11 points, while DC Trident gets only 4 points. The fact that Energy Standard did not win this race is early good news for the other three teams.

2. KUSCH Marius (TOR) – 49.98 (7 points)

Overall, Toronto comes out of the women’s 200 back with 22 points. Freestyle specialist Federica Pellegrini placed 4th for the Aqua Centurions, earning 5 points.

So far, Toronto is looking pretty strong and doing well in the team points game, meanwhile the Aqua Centurions and DC Trident need to do more to get more points on the board.

Energy Standard’s Evgeny Rylov had a solid swim with a big back-half, surging to the wall ahead of DC Trident’s Jacob Pebley, winning by 0.3. This was a great swim for Pebley who voluntarily sat out of the U.S. Olympic Trials and took some time away from the pool over the summer, despite having been a favorite to make the Olympic team in this event. Rylov stole points from DC’s Tristan Hollard and Toronto’s Max Litchfield. The Aqua Centurions picked up a much-needed 9 points thanks to Leonardo de Deus and Matteo Ciampi.

Tommy Cope pulled off an upset win by surging to the wall ahead of #1 overall draft pick Arno Kamminga, earning huge points for DC Trident. Toronto placed 3rd and 4th, bringing in 11 points for them, more than DC Trident will actually get since DC’s second swimmer, Jay Litherland, was jackpotted, albeit by a teammate. This is Energy Standard’s weakest race so far, netting a mere 6 points.

8. Aqua Centurions (3:37.19 (-2 points) *JP *TS

The Titans pulled off an upset with a win here, buoyed by big 3rd and 4th legs. Thanks to jackpots, Toronto earns a massive 30 points, jackpotting their own ‘B’ team, as well as Energy Standard and the Aqua Centurion’s ‘B’ teams.

Chase Kalisz surged in the breaststroke and held on for the win, meanwhile teammate Ilia Borodin placed 4th, giving Aqua Centurions a total 16 points overall, a vital influx for them. Toronto’s 2nd and 3rd place finishes are huge in order to keep their hopes of perhaps upsetting Energy Standard in this first match alive. Speaking of Energy Standard, this was not a great showing for them as they come away with a mere 3 points, meanwhile the DC Trident gets 5 overall.

Martina Carraro placed 3rd for the Aqua Centurions, a huge points swing for them. Energy Standard comes away with 10 points while DC and Toronto earn only 5 points and 4 points, respectively. This bodes worse for DC than it does Toronto.

2. NEALE Leah (DCT) – 4:01.29 (11 points)
3. HASSLER Julia (TOR) – 4:01.58 (10 points)

7. HIBBOTT Holly (AQC) – 4:08.47 (2 points)
8. TAYLOR Laura (AQC) – 4:09.42 (2 points)

If the two results lists above look nearly identical, it’s because they are, with the exception of the top-2 finishers, Siobhan Haughey of Energy Standard and Leah Neale of DC Trident. Though Neale won the race, Haughey earns the most points thanks to her early speed and hitting the “checkpoints” at the 100 and 200 meter marks. Toronto gets a vital 18 points with Hassler and McIntosh placing 3rd and 4th, while Aqua finishes in the bottom with each swimmer earning just 2 points each. Energy comes away with 16 points total, while DC takes 15 points in all.

Men’s 400 Freestyle

7. LITCHFIELD Max (TOR) – 3:45.45 (4 points)
8. STJEPANOVIC Velimir (DCT) – 3:46.32 (2 points)

Once again, the “checkpoints” at the 100 and 200 meter marks played a vital role in the men’s 400 freestyle’s points outcome. Here we see that Energy Standard’s Kregor Zirk, who finished 6th in the overall race, won the 2nd-most points with 9, just 3 behind the winner, Matteo Ciampi of the Aqua Centurions. Zane Grothe of the DC Trident, meanwhile, earned the normal 7 points for a 2nd place finish–this was due to him swimming quite conservatively over the first 200 meters and closing really well. Toronto’s Luc Kroon, who placed 3rd, ended up earning more points than Grothe, who had a faster overall time than him, thanks to the checkpoint system.

Women’s 4 x 100 Medley Relay

1. Aqua Centurions – 3:50.81 (18 points)
2. Toronto Titans – 3:51.00 (14 points)
3. Energy Standard – 3:51.20 (12 points)
4. Energy Standard – 3:51.33 (10 points)
5. DC Trident – 3:54.60 (8 points)
6. DC Trident – 3:54.88 (6 points)
7. Aqua Centurions – 3:56.95 (4 points)
8. Toronto Titans – 3:57.77 (2 points)

Federica Pellegrini and the Aqua Centurions snagged a surprise victory in the women’s 4 x 100 medley relay. No teams had their points stolen though, and Energy Standard managed to snag 3rd and 4th for a total of 22 points, the same that Aqua gets for winning and placing 7th. Toronto, meanwhile, finishes with 16 points in this race, and DC 14.

The Aqua Centurions will get to select which stroke the skins race is, though Toronto and Energy Standard will each get to veto 1 stroke, making Aqua’s selection between just two of the four stroke disciplines.

Men’s 4 x 100 Medley Relay

  1. Energy Standard — 3:24.05 (24 points)
  2. Aqua Centurions — 3:24.8 (14 points)
  3. Aqua Centurions — 3:24.65 (12 points)
  4. Toronto Titans — 3:25.13 (10 points)
  5. DC Trident — 3:26.81 (8 points)
  6. Energy Standard — 3:28.26 (6 points)
  7. Toronto Titans — DNS (-8 points)
  8. DC Trident — DSQ (-4 points)

The Energy Standard men dominated the 4 x 100 medley relay though big swims by the Aqua Centurions put them in 2nd and 3rd place overall for a total of 26 points to Energy’s 30 points. Toronto only comes away with 10 points–the Titans elected to swim only 1 of their 2 relays, meaning they were deducted 8 points for not participating. Meanwhile, DC receives a mere 8 points from this race as their second team was disqualified.

Energy Standard will get the pick of the skins race, though the Aqua Centurions and Toronto Titans will get to veto 1 stroke each. Most likely, they will knock out backstroke and butterfly as that is where Energy Standard’s men are strongest.

Team Scores – Day 1

  1. Energy Standard – 262.5
  2. Aqua Centurions – 235
  3. Toronto Titans – 233
  4. DC Trident – 167.5

How did you get the replay? Is it just the video overlooking the pool?

Yep, so I guess there’s no replays? I’ll be asking for a refund and doing a charge back if they refuse. Do they honestly think people in East Asia/Oceania are gonna get up at 3am to watch?

No replays seems insane.

If you have a subscription to Eurosportplayer.com you have up to 1 year of replays, but I have my subscription for multiple reasons (several different sports and events, not just for ISL swimming).
Converted to about $80 for a year, but you have to appear to be connected in Europe and have a payment method associated with the same country – I think.

Which European country are you in (or appear to be in)?

UK subscription doesn’t seem to include it and I’ve just tried changing location via VPN to a couple of different places neither of which seemed to include it either

Interestingly, earlier this week they had ISL matches still in the schedule on Eurosport player. Only yesterday I found out that it is no longer the case. Sad that eurosport doesn’t show more swimming.

I had the same problem, so I wrote to them. They replied instantly! Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, a small glitch in the system exists , which blocks the ability to post happened events. However, rest assured, the recordings will become available by today evening CET.

Sorry for the inconvenience and enjoy the show,
ISL Staff

Yes, I got the reply too but many hours later.

So if you’re leading at the halfway mark, you get more points than the actual winner of the race?

One guess as to who designed this rule (Hint: it rhymes with Cycle Shmandrew)

Yeah but if you’re leading at the halfway mark and get jackpotted, you can lose all of those points.

On the ISL website it only has DCT in 3 matches instead of 4. Does anyone know if it’s an error or if they’re actually only competing in 3?
