Greek Active is the fourth studio album by Scottish alt-pop/rock band How to Swim. Principal sessions were recorded in August 2015 by Samuel Smith at Green Door Studios in Glasgow, although the record was not completed until early 2025. Produced by Gregor Barclay and mixed and mastered by Cara South, the album was finally released on 21 February 2025 through Personal Hygiene Records.
The record was the first How to Swim release to feature the leaner personnel lineup implemented around 2013, although ex-members Richard Merchant and Ross McRae ultimately returned to contribute trumpet and trombone overdubs during later recording sessions.
