Swimming World is a mid-sized media company based in Oakland, California, operating in the media and telecommunications sector. It publishes news, features, and analysis on aquatic sports—covering swimming, diving, water polo, and artistic swimming—for a global audience of athletes, coaches, and enthusiasts. The organization has expanded its coverage through partnerships with major swimming organizations and international teams, including a 2023 collaboration with USA Swimming as the Official Supplier of Magazine Publishing Services, which included a relaunch of SPLASH Magazine.

In February 2024, H2Media LLC, led by Jack Hallahan and Steve Hasty, acquired Swimming World with the aim of revitalizing the brand and reaching a younger generation through multi-channel content distribution, including a revitalized website, print, social media, and a new mobile app. More recently, the company unveiled a redesigned digital platform with interactive features and enhanced social sharing, and launched a mobile app for real-time competition updates, training tips, athlete profiles, and recruiting information for both iPhone and Android users. These efforts, along with partnerships and a focus on diverse aquatic disciplines, have coincided with a 300% increase in social media engagement over the past year, with posts across platforms such as Instagram, X, and TikTok reaching over a million views.
