The ISL says athletes will receive 100% of their unpaid Season 3 prize money over four annual installments beginning in 2026.
The payment comes with Friday’s news the league sent to athletes indicating that there is an update on the league’s status.
The International Swimming League (ISL) has reported started reaching out to athletes and coaches regarding its pending return.
Grigorishin has been formally accused of large-scale embezzlement and added to Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted list.
The International Swimming League won a largely-moral victory over World Aquatics in a U.S. federal court, though the jury award was largely symbolic.
2018 and 2019 ISL participants will receive payouts soon for their part in the class action lawsuit against the global aquatics governing body. Olympian Tom Shields was the lead plaintiff.
Upon seeing an interview with ISL commissioner Ben Allen about the return of the team-based pro swimming league, Ryan took to social media to say he still hasn’t been paid.
The ISL’s “ideal scenario” is to restart in the fall of 2026 with a new business model focused on sponsorship and media partnerships.
