Swimmer One is a Scottish band founded in 2002 by Hamish Brown and Andrew Eaton. Laura Cameron Lewis joined the line-up in 2007.

Swimmer One's music has been categorised as indie, pop music and indietronica and variously been compared to The Associates, Pulp, Pet Shop Boys and Belle & Sebastian.

In September 2007 Swimmer One released their first album, The Regional Variations, on their own label, Biphonic Records. Their second album, Dead Orchestras, is due for release on 31 May 2010. They have also released four singles: "We Just Make Music For Ourselves", "Come On, Let's Go!" and "The Balance Company", all on Biphonic Records, and "Largs Hum" on London's Dogbox records.

In 2006, Swimmer One collaborated with Edinburgh based theatre group Highway Diner on a show entitled We Just Make Music For Ourselves which was performed in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Biella, Italy.

Film-maker Daniel Warren has made several films featuring Swimmer One's music which have been screened at film festivals worldwide including the Edinburgh Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival. Hamish and Daniel also worked together on the film Public Private, commissioned by Scottish Ballet and the National Galleries of Scotland, and directed by Daniel with a musical score by Hamish. Laura and Andrew have also worked together outside of Swimmer One, creating two theatre shows for The Arches in Glasgow.
