Winston & Strawn LLP represents classes of professional swimmers that have filed a class action lawsuit against World Aquatics (formerly Fédération Internationale de Natation). Shields et al v. Federation Internationale De Natation, Case No. 3:18-cv-07393-JSC. The plaintiffs allege that World Aquatics violated federal antitrust law by organizing a group boycott against a competing swimming league, the International Swimming League (“ISL”), which prevented ISL from holding professional swimming competitions in 2018 and 2019. The plaintiffs allege that affected swimmers collectively would have earned millions of dollars in appearances fees and prize money at those events had they taken place. The plaintiffs are also seeking injunctive relief to prevent the Defendant World Aquatics from interfering in the future with swimmers’ ability to earn compensation by participating in professional swimming competitions, including those held by swimming leagues that are not sanctioned by World Aquatics. World Aquatics denies that it violated any law, denies that it organized an unlawful group boycott and denies that it prevented swimmers from participating in swimming competitions hosted by ISL in 2018 and 2019.
