The inaugural International Swimming League finished its first ever meet on Sunday October 6 in Indianapolis, Indiana as Energy Standard won the first meet, ahead of the Cali Condors, DC Trident and Aqua Centurions. These four teams will be flying to Naples, Italy tonight as they will compete in the second ISL match next weekend in Italy.

Sarah Sjostrom and Chad Le Clos (both Energy Standard) were named most valuable players of the first ISL match as the two Energy Standard team captains were a part of the driving force to get the ISL off the ground.

Katie Ledecky also nearly broke a world record in the 400 freestyle, as this was the first time she swam short course meters since the 2013 Duel in the Pool.

Swimming World’s Dan D’Addona was in the arena interviewing athletes and writing commentary as well as shooting photos with chief photographer Peter H. Bick. Splash through Bick’s photo gallery below.
