By Gold Medal Mel Stewart on SwimSwam
Get The 2026 Swimsuit SwimSwam Magazine
Olympic superstar Léon Marchand graces the cover of our 2026 Swimsuit Issue. The four-time Olympic gold medalist officially joined Speedo as a global ambassador December 2025, launching a defining partnership between swimming’s most dominant athlete and the sport’s most iconic brand. To capture this moment, SwimSwam Chief Photographer Jack Spitser flew to Austin. He had exactly fifteen minutes. Léon was finishing his warm-down at a Texas practice. Two hundred meters left. Three passes underwater. That was it. One of those passes became this cover. The result is raw, immediate, unmistakable. Just the best swimmer in the world, between sets, locked in. We hope you love it.
Inside this issue, we bring you the full spectrum of the sport over 172 pages. We’ve built four expansive data features that break down the numbers behind performance, and we have our comprehensive swimwear showcase starting on page 110 featuring every major brand shaping the lane lines in 2026.
Then there is a massive profile starting on page 50. Anya Pelshaw delivers a nearly 5,000-word feature on University of Tennessee head coach Matt Kredich that may be the most intimate portrait of a coach we have ever published. It is honest, vulnerable, and powerful. Kredich speaks openly about illness, grief, fatherhood, doubt, evolution, and belief. Above all, belief. The title says it all: What Remains When the Stopwatch Stops. I believe it is the best longform piece we have ever produced. Many thanks to feature writer Anya Pelshaw for penning this beautiful story.
