Known for their dynamic sound and thoughtful songwriting, the group’s catalogue includes recent releases such as the anticipated self-titled album set for release in October 2025, as well as tracks like “On & on,” “Alone With You,” and “Heaven.” This commitment to creativity continues to position swim school among the most promising acts emerging from Scotland’s vibrant music community.

On the live music circuit, swim school have established themselves as a compelling support act on major tours.

Their ability to captivate audiences across Europe, whether in Spain, France, Portugal, or Switzerland, speaks to both their musical versatility and their appeal to a broad spectrum of rock fans.

Looking ahead, swim school are slated to appear at the Royal Highland Showgrounds in Edinburgh in August 2026, supporting Biffy Clyro and Nothing But Thieves—an undeniably high-profile slot that highlights the band’s growing influence.
