      "Izumitelj" marke Simborg bio je David Jonason, dugogodišnji sportski menadžer u Dagens Nyheteru. Ujutro 14. 05. 1934. sazvao je sastanak s nizom važnih ljudi. David Jonason je rekao da svaki dan u novinama čita o nesrećama utapanja, te da je u obavijesti gotovo uvijek pisalo da je osoba koja se utopila poznata kao dobar plivač. DN je sada želio smanjiti broj nesreća utapanja. To je, na primjer, navođenje ljudi da provjeravaju svoje plivačke vještine svake godine putem testa plivanja od, recimo, 200 metara bez vremena. Prijedlog je pozitivno primljen i osnovan je Simborgarmarkt.

      The "inventor" of the Simborg brand was David Jonason, sports manager for many years at Dagens Nyheter. On the morning of May 14, 1934, he called a meeting with a number of important people. David Jonason said that he read about drowning accidents in the newspapers every day, and that the notice almost always said that the person who drowned was known as a good swimmer. DN now wanted to reduce the number of drowning accidents. This is, for example, by getting people to check their swimming skills every year through a swimming test of, say, 200 meters without a time. The proposal was received positively, and the Simborgarmarkt was established.

      Prve godine značka je bila ponoćno plava. Godine nakon smaragdno zelene, rubin crvene i narančaste. Te su se boje zatim ponovno pojavljivale u četverogodišnjim razdobljima sve do ranih 1960-ih kada su boje postajale nove svake godine. Brend plivačke značke je u zajedničkom vlasništvu Švedskog plivačkog saveza i Švedskog društva za spašavanje života.

      The first year the badge was midnight blue. The years after colors were emerald green, ruby ​​red and orange. These colors then reappeared in four-year periods until the early 1960s when the colors became new each year. The swimming brand is jointly owned by the Swedish Swimming Association and the Swedish Lifesaving Society.

      Značka za plivanje je klasična značka, koju se  svake godine izrađuje u drugoj boji. Uz njih postoje i jubilarne značke, za plivače koji u takmičenjima učestvuju više godina. Ove jubilarne značke su istog oblika i izgleda kao i „obične“ takmičarske, samo je u njihovom donjem dijelu mali dodatak sa brojem godina. Dodjeljuju se za 5, 10, 25, 40 ili 50 godina učestvovanja u ovim takmičenjima. Za dodjelu plivačke značke učesnik mora, u bilo kojem od stilova,  preplivati dvije stotine metara u dubokoj vodi.
