One Night | 4 Teams | World's Fastest
The All-Star Match
The world's fastest swimmers assembled together for one unmissable night of head-to-head racing in a never-before-seen format
What is the All-Star Match
The ISL All-Star Match is a one-night showcase of the world's fastest swimmers returning to the pool for a unique 2h head-to-head ISL-style competition. This is not a heats-and-finals meet: every race counts, every touch moves the scoreboard, and one team leaves London as champions.
Between 2019 and 2021, the ISL has managed to redefine competitive swimming, making it dynamic, fast, strategic and unpredictable. This year, the ISL brings that version of swimming back to life through the All-Star Match; in a world-class venue, with a live crowd, and a global audience watching.
Expect a night that feels nothing like traditional swimming: high-octane racing from the first event to the last, team tactics and momentum swings, music and show production that keep the arena loud between races… Whether you were with ISL from the start or this is your first taste of swimming reimagined, London in December is where the sport comes back to life.
