London Roar has the distinction of being one of two teams (along with the Cali Condors) to have an unblemished record after completing two ISL matches. Rob Woodhouse serves as the General Manager of the team.

Brazilian swimmer Guilherme Guido won the men’s 50 meter backstroke race clocking 22.86 seconds, and the men’s 100 meter backstroke with 49.57 seconds, proving that he is a true force to be reckoned with.
