The International Swimming League (ISL) will finally reveal the rosters for two of the four yet-unrevealed American franchises in a press conference Tuesday at noon Eastern Time.
The ISL has teased announcements of the American rosters for months, but tomorrow appears to be the day with a live press conference scheduled for noon. The members of the European rosters have been trickling out, announced by the four European franchises as they’ve signed. As such, we know almost the entirety of the European teams. Meanwhile the American franchises are almost entirely unleaked. There have been a few hints or educated guesses made (Michael Andrew‘s family owns the New York Breakers, so it’s likely he’ll be competing there; German media at one point linked Marco Koch to that team as well; Ryan Murphy hinted that he’d be competing at an Indianapolis meet that would limit him to either the DC Trident or Cali Condors; Bowen Becker at one point publicly joined the Cali Condors, though the Instagram post was deleted), but the rosters still remain very mysterious.
The ISL will stagger its official roster announcements between this week and next. This week, they’ll announce the teams in Group A (two American and two European franchises) and next week they’ll announce Group B. Here’s the full schedule and the included teams:
Group A: Announced 6/11/2019
- Cali Condors
- DC Trident
- AquaCenturions
- Energy Standard
Group B: Announced 6/18/2019
- LA Current
- New York Breakers
- Team Iron
- London Roar
