“This app and Olympic Racing Guide are game-changers for the
swimming community—exactly what swimmers and coaches have been
waiting for,” said Jack Hallahan, Co-Owner and Publisher of
Swimming World and H2Media. “It’s 2024! Everything is on our
phones. Why not have instant access to all things swimming? The
Olympics open this weekend. Now is the perfect time to give our
community the app they deserve to stay updated on swimming, water
polo, open water, paralympics, diving, and more. We are also
launching The Olympic Racing Guide. It is already proving to be a
big hit, with stats and fun facts about every single race over 10
days in Paris. Who won that race in the last Olympics? What’s the
World Record? Who’s favored? Which country has the most medals?
It’s like a Horse Racing Form for swim fans!”
Swimming World’s mobile app offers a free version for breaking
news and will, over time, add premium subscription offers with
access to all magazine issues, commentary, workouts, resources,
event trackers, athlete databases, and more.
“This is just the beginning—we have big plans to further elevate
the app with personalized experiences, coaching tips, videos, and
more,” Hallahan added. “One thing’s for sure: there’s nothing else
like it out there."
