Swim School is a three-piece indie rock band based in Edinburgh, Scotland. They formed in at the end of 2018, but waited to announce themselves until 2019. They released four singles from 2019 to 2020 which were later put together as an EP, volume 1, in 2021, followed by making sense of it all in 2022[1] and duality in 2023.[2] Their single BORED has been featured in the soundtrack of FC 2024.[3]

Started by classmates and guitarists Alice Johnson and Lewis Bunting, the band went through a lineup change [4] before settling as a 4-piece in 2019 with drummer Billy McMahon and bassist Matthme Mitchell. Though the COVID-19 quarantine in 2020 made many things difficult, they say it gave them the space they needed to improve their song and work on their songwriting. [5] In November 2022, the band parted ways with Matthme Mitchell. Speaking about it close to a year later, singer Alice Johnson said, "Being in a band isn't for everyone, it's a pretty tough industry and sometimes people outgrow it which is [okay]."
