The London-based International Swimming League, now named London Roar, has announced that Aussie freestyling ace Cameron McEvoy will be added to their star-studded line-up.

Morozov most recently wreaked havoc in Hangzhou at last year’s Short Course World Championships. The Russian reaped a total of 6 medals, including individual gold in the men’s 50m freestyle.
Or, no. Please don’t make Vlad Iron Bear or Pig iron. And if it is so necessary by contract requirements to be labelled by something ferrum(Fe) related then make it at least something of Steel. I think he deserved it.

I’m also curious about the German team. Have they started their recruitment? If not, they should be very worried as more and more top swimmers sign with the other three.
Yes the German team has started their recruiting and have contacted a lot of swimmers, but I’m not sure if anyone have signed the contract yet.
Craig, can you please keep your hands away from my fellow Hungarians. As well as from the keyboard unless you are able to make a swimming related point.
I only know she swims some world leading times in Marseile and “Ironish” could be compliment, too in my age 🙂
will Americans ever fill a team?? are they waiting for the NCAA’s to be over?
I am getting more and more under impression that Grigorishin’s envoy in America Assigned Managing Director of the ISL USA Dmytro Kachurovskyi, isn’t really welcome by American swimming related businesses. I don’t see any other reasons of delayed recruitment.
