IGLA has been running since 1987 and formed as a spin off of the Gay Games with sports include swimming, water polo, diving, synchronised swimming and open water swimming. This year IGLA 2019 will be in New York to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and next year it will be held in Melbourne. 500-600 competitors are expected to hit our shores for IGLA2020 held the week before Mardi Gras and are planning on hosting a float for competitors.
