ISHOF to induct Trischa Zorn as first Paralympic Swmmer into ISHOF as part of the Class of 2023
Trischa Zorn is the easily the most successful athlete in Paralympic Games history, having won 55 medals, 41 of which are gold, competing in seven Paralympic Games. To put it into perspective, Trischa has won more Paralympic medals than some countries.
She first began competing as a 16-year old, qualifying for her first Paralympic Games in 1980, in Arnham, Netherlands, where she came away with seven gold medals. Trischa was born with a genetic eye condition that left her blind. After her first Games in the Netherlands, it was on to New York in 1984, where she won six more gold medals. From then on, she never looked back for the next five Games.

In 1982, Trischa was awarded an NCAA Division I scholarship, becoming the first visually impaired athlete to earn a full ride, which she then used to become a four-time All-American backstroker at the University of Nebraska.
Trischa became a teacher for special needs students in Indianapolis. After several years of teaching, she decided to make a career change and entered Law School. She earned her Juris Doctor degree from the Indiana University Law School in 2005. Zorn now works for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Indianapolis where she works to ensure that veterans obtain the care they are entitled to receive.
USA Swimming created the Trischa L. Zorn Award to honor a swimmer or relay team with a disability for outstanding performance and excellence.
Trischa Zorn-Hudson was inducted into the International Paralympic Hall of Fame in 2012 and was inducted into the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame in 2022.
2023 will mark the first year that ISHOF will induct a paralympic athlete. It was suggested and unanimously voted on by the ISHOF Board of Directors to include Paralympians in the ISHOF family in 2021. With the Covid pandemic, it was agreed that 2023 would be the first year that an athlete would be chosen. A committee was selected and formed with Dave Denniston, as Chairman and his group of experts from around the world, and Trischa was a unanimous selection as the first ISHOF Paralympic Honoree. We are thrilled to welcome the Paralympic family to ISHOF and hope we can broaden the awareness of Paralympics, their sport and dedication.

A look at the 2024 Paris Olympics Schedule for Swimming ~
by DAVID RIEDER, SWIMMING WORLD
A Look At the Schedule For the 2024 Olympics In Paris; Women’s 200 Free, 1500 Free On Different Days
After five consecutive Olympic Games with very similar schedules for swimming competition, there will be a totally new lineup in place for the 2024 Games in Paris. The new competition schedule will include 35 finals in the pool, just like at the Tokyo Olympics last year, but the events will be spread out over nine days of finals instead of eight, with finals at La Defense Arena running from Saturday, July 27 through Sunday, August 4.
The revamped schedule will see the women’s 200 freestyle and 1500 freestyle finals moved to separate days in the schedule. In Tokyo, where the 1500 free was contested in the Olympics for the first time, the two events were both held during the fourth night of finals, and Katie Ledecky competed in both. She finished fifth in the 200 free before winning gold in the 1500 free. Ledecky skipped the 200 free at this year’s World Championships, but with the schedule extended and the two events split, she may choose to return to the event in the future.
Additionally, the men’s and women’s 400 IM finals have been moved off the first night of finals for the first time in recent memory. Instead, the men’s event will be held on day two and the women’s on day three. Both 400 free relays will be on the first night (unlike at previous Olympics when the men’s was on day two). The men’s and women’s 400 medley relays will conclude the Olympic swimming competition on day nine, while the mixed 400 medley relay will be on day eight.
The men’s 200 backstroke and 200 IM have been moved to different days in the competition schedule. Previously, the events were held back-to-back, which discouraged Michael Phelps from ever competing in the 200 back at the Olympics. Phelps won four consecutive gold medals in the 200 IM at the Olympics, making him the only swimmer in any event to ever accomplish a four-peat, but his biggest rival in the event, Ryan Lochte, raced in the 200 back final prior to taking on Phelps in the 200 IM at both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.
The full schedule of finals for the Paris Olympics is posted below, with three to five finals set to take place each day. Prelims for each event and semifinals for each event 200 meters and below take place the day before the listed finals. For the 400 free, 400 IM and all freestyle relays, prelims take place the same day.

Today in Swimming History ~ April 11, 1896 ~ Swimming begins at the Athens Olympic Games ~Alfred Hajos wins first Olympic gold medal ever awarded in swimming
Today in Swimming History…….127 years ago, on April 11, 1896, ISHOF Honor Swimmer, Alfred Hajós of Hungary beats Otto Herschmann of Austria by 0.6s to win the inaugural Olympic 100m freestyle final in a time of 1:22.2 at the first Olympiad in Athens, Greece; He would also take gold in the 1200m on the same day.
Hajos and his Hungarian teammates were one of only three countries that competed in first Olympic Games in swimming. The other two were Austria and Greece. There was a fourth country that competed in the Games, the U.S.A., but they competed in sports other than swimming.
Hajos was inducted into ISHOF in 1966. Read about the rest of his life after that first Olympiad below.
ALFRED HAJOS (HUN) 1966 HONOR SWIMMER
The information on this page was written the year of their induction.
FOR THE RECORD: OLYMPIC GAMES: 1896 gold (100m, 1200m freestyle); first Olympic swim champion. The first modern Olympic swimming champion was Alfred Hajos, a double winner at Athens in 1896. Hajos won the 100 meter freestyle in 1:22.2 beating out the local favorite Chorophas and Herschmann of Austria.

The Austrians got back in the swim as Paul Neumann won the 500 meter freestyle over two more Greeks while Hajos was resting up for his second win, the 1200 meter freestyle in 18:22.2. Thus Alfred Hajos took home two of the three gold medals offered in swimming. His teammate, Zoltan Halmay got only a third, but came back in the next four Olympics to be the other Hungarian from the first Olympics to make the International Swimming Hall of Fame. The Austrian Neumann became a prominent U.S. doctor. Hajos stayed in Hungary, survived World War I, and came back to the Olympics 28 years after his first try, this time 1924 Paris, where he won another gold medal. It was in a cultural Olympic art and architectural contest.
Architect Hajos later designed Budapest’s finest competitive swimming pool, club and baths in which Hungary trained its next great Olympic 100 meter champion, Czik Ference in 1936, and its great postwar women swimmers, Szoke, Gyenge, Szekely, Temes and the Novak Sisters.

The National Swimming Pool was opened in 1930. A contemporary newspaper called it the crown of Alfred Hajós’ career.
The National Swimming Pool was commissioned by the Royal Hungarian Ministry for Religion and Education. The minister, Kuno Klebersberg (1875–1932), saw the swimming pool as a vital project.
Adolph Kiefer talks about his friend, Jesse Owens, Adolph Hitler, University of Texas and much more…
Not only was Adolph Kiefer a legend in swimming, but he seemed to be a legend in everything he did. Adolph lived to be 99 years old. He attended numerous swim meets representing his own company, Kiefer and Associates, a lot of them in Fort Lauderdale at the Hall of Fame pool……always wanting to help and give back to the sport that had given so much to him.
Above is a video of Adolph talking about his experience in Berlin, Germany, as a member of the USA Swim Team. He would come home a champion, in the 100m backstroke. He lived quite a life, but hearing him talk about his experiences at the XI Olympiad are not to be missed. I am so glad there is a record of this. Thanks to Kiefer’s alma mater, Texas Sports and Media Department.
Below is Adolph’s bio from 1965 when he was inducted, so it is a bit outdated, but still worth the read. Adolph was always a great story teller each time he came to Fort Lauderdale. I feel honored to have known him and to have heard his stories.
Adolph Kiefer (USA) Honor Swimmer – 1965
The information on this page was written the year of their induction.
FOR THE RECORD: OLYMPIC GAMES: 1936 gold (100m backstroke); WORLD RECORDS: every backstroke event; U.S. NATIONAL RECORDS: every backstroke event, 3-stroke individual medley; Officer in charge of swimming for U.S. Navy during WWII; Advisor to President’s Council on Physical Fitness.
Adolph Kiefer was the first man in the world to swim 100 yds. backstroke under 1 minute. His backstroke records stood for 15 years, which is why swimming people universally acclaim him the greatest backstroker ever. It was in 1936, while a 17-year-old schoolboy, he first earned huzzahs from the athletic fraternity by establishing a backstroke swimming record to win an Olympic gold medal in Berlin. If wider acclaim eluded him then, the oversight can be attributed to the presence of Jesse Owens and the absence of “Life” magazine.
Many major headlines blared his name in the decade to follow because Kiefer went on to set world records in every backstroke event in the books and won national championships in the 3 stroke individual medley as well. None of his backstroke records were broken until 1950, four years after his retirement from competitive swimming.
Although World War II pre-empted his chances to further distinguish himself in Olympic competition, the Kiefer name continued to be news. He conducted a global survey of shipwrecks and documented the enormous and unnecessary toll of GI deaths resulting from inadequate swimming instruction. A shocked corps elevated a young Lt. Kiefer to officer in charge of swimming for the entire U.S. Navy. He revamped the entire instruction program, trained or retrained 11,000 Navy swimming instructors.
Today Adolph Kiefer, at 46, is a few pounds heavier than his best swimming weight and the hair has thinned a bit. But the enthusiasm and zeal with which he assaults the developments of daily business seem greater, if this is possible.
“I sometimes believe industry stamps a man physically fit if his handshake is firm, his head steady enough to do battle with a three-martini lunch, and his bottom hard enough to sit long hours behind a desk,” says Adolph Kiefer.
“The key to physical fitness in this country is the woman of the house. It is she who motivates the children to forsake the TV set and empty the garbage, and it is she who convinces her husband to clean out the garage and repaint the living room ceiling. And it is she, through her own trim example, who can effect a family fit for a good life.”
“Americans are generally very conscientious and attentive when it comes to business and religious responsibilities, but is there not such a thing as physical morality?” Kiefer attaches great importance to home exercise, but even more to prospective industrial fitness programs. He has flown more than 60,000 miles in the last ten months to acquaint business leaders with his ideas for industry-sponsored fitness development.
He has been a prominent figure in the swimming industry since World War II and a liaison between the industry and competitive swimming. His activities pursuant to the promotion of physical fitness have earned him the role of advisor to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness.
Happy Birthday to two Outstanding Honorees who are no longer with us: Pete desjardins (USA) Diver and Kevin Berry (AUS) Swimmer…..

Pete Desjardins (USA) 1966 Honor Diver ~ (April 10, 1907 – May 6, 1985)
The information on this page was written the year of their induction.
FOR THE RECORD: OLYMPIC GAMES: 1924 silver (springboard), 6th (plain high diving); 1928 gold (springboard, platform); NATIONAL AAU CHAMPIONSHIPS: 3m springboard, 10m springboard, plain high diving; After turning professional, he was star performer for Billy Rose’s World’s Fair Aquacades; produced his own Water Shows.
Billed as “The Little Bronze Statue from the Land of Real Estate, Grapefruit and Alligators”, Pete Desjardins, 16, representing the Roman Pools, Miami Beach, Florida, arrived in Chicago for the 1924 Indoor AAU Swimming & Diving Championships. He placed second to Al White in the 3 meter dive. Pete took second to White again at the Olympic Tryouts, and again in the Paris Olympics.
At the 1925 Outdoor Senior National AAU Championships, Desjardins won 3 First Places in the diving events — the 3 meter Springboard, the 10 meter Platform and for the first time ever held in America, the National Plain High Diving Contest consisting of four swan dives, two from the 5 meter and two from the 10 meter levels. This type of contest was a European idea which the AAU held in 1925 and 1927. Desjardins won both of these titles, and this new event enabled him to tie Johnny Weissmuller for the high point trophies with 3 wins each.
In between, the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial was host for the 1926 Outdoor Nationals where Pete successfully defended both his 3 meter and 10 meter titles. He won nine Senior National titles while still a Miami High School student. Stanford’s Ernst Brandsten put the finishing touches to Pete Desjardins’ diving, which resulted in the highest scoring ever by a diver in the Olympic Games. In the 1928 Olympics springboard event, Pete received all 10s as a perfect score in two of his dives, the half-gainer and the gainer 1 1/2. He received four 10s and a 9 in his back dive. His average for the 10 dives was 9.2.
In the 10 meter event, Desjardins was closely contested by Farid Simaika of Egypt, who had learned all of his diving while a student at UCLA. The method of scoring at that time was such that at first it was announced that Simaika had won the 10 meter event. While the Egyptian’s national anthem was being played, it was abruptly interrupted with due apologies to the Egyptian officials who announced that an error had been made and that Desjardins had won first place from four out of five judges.
Pete Desjardins shares two titles, most U.S. Diving Nationals–13 (with Helen Meany) and a grand slam of all available diving crowns in one year (with Earl Clark).
After the 1928 Olympics, Desjardins was declared pro for appearing in Miami water shows along with Johnny Weissmuller, Martha Norelius and Helen Meany. This ended his chance to continue his diving dominance possibly through the 1932 and 1936 Olympic Games, since he was still taking on all comers in the Billy Rose Aquacades of the late 1930’s and was still featured in diving shows in to the 1960s.
Kevin Berry (AUS) 1980 Honor Swimmer (10 April 1945 – 7 December 2006)
The information on this page was written the year of their induction.
FOR THE RECORD: OLYMPIC GAMES: 1964 gold (200m butterfly), bronze 9medley relay); WORLD RECORDS: 12 (200m, 110yd, 220yd butterfly); NATIONAL AAU: 1 (relay); COMMONWEALTH GAMES: 1962 gold (200m, 200m butterfly; relay); AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS: 6 (100m, 200m butterfly); AMERICAN RECORDS: 1 (100m butterfly).
Australian press photographer Kevin Berry likes to take action pictures of swimmers. He has been at home (and abroad) on both sides of the camera but he still has a way to go before his medal count for winning photography reaches that he set as an Olympic gold medal and world record holding swimmer. Berry was a specialist in the finest sense. His 12 World Records, 2 Olympic medals (one gold and one bronze in Tokyo), 3 Commonwealth gold medals (Perth), 6 Australian Championships, and one American record were all in the butterfly stroke (24). He was finishing Indiana University the year before Mark Spitz started. Berry’s longest world record, the 200 meter butterfly set against Carl Robie in winning the Olympic title at Tokyo (1964), lasted a remarkable three years until broken in 1967 by (you guessed it) Mark Spitz. Berry’s coaches were Don Talbot and “Doc” Counsilman.
YMCA Swimming and Diving National Championships Celebrates 100 Years
ISHOF and the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center’s favorite group of people: The YMCA Swimming and Diving National Championship Committee celebrate 100 years!!! For 34 years we had the honor of hosting them in Fort Lauderdale until we needed a redo; we then went under a long awaited renovation and we are ready for them to come back!
2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the first YMCA National Swimming and Diving Championships. The event was first held in 1923 in Brooklyn, New York. The YMCA has helped to produce many talent young athletes that have gone on to succeed at the college level and even further, by representing the USA on the National Team at numerous international events, including World Championships and even the Olympic Games.
That first championship, held in Brooklyn was hosted by the Brooklyn Central Branch YMCA on May 19, 1923. There were ten different YMCA’s in attendance from four states and one Canadian province. It was a one-day competition that consisted of seven events and one relay. In comparison, todays meet lasts five days, and has 36 events. There were two events back in 1923 that are no loner part of the competition today: the 150 yard Backstroke and Fancy Diving! In 1923, there were 80 athletes versus today’s 1300 competitors.
Facts about the YMCA Swimming and Diving National Championships
The event distances varied until the mid-1930s because pool sizes varied~
During the years 1923-1970, only men were permitted to compete in the National Championships. The first YMCA National Women’s Swimming Championships was held in 1967 and then in 1971, both Men’s and Women’s National Championships were eventually combined into the same event.
Chaperones were required for each Women’s team at the Women’s Championships, beginning in 1967.
This meet has been held at the Hall of Fame Pool in Fort Lauderdale, 34 times, more times than at any other location! And they want to come back~ and we want them!!!
Twelve YMCA athletes who have participated in the YMCA National Championships have gone on to represent Team USA in the Olympic Games!
Happy Birthday Ted Stickles – Honor Swimmer 1995
The information on this page was written the year of their induction.
FOR THE RECORD: 4 WORLD RECORDS: 400m individual medley; 8 U.S. NATIONAL AAU CHAMPIONSHIPS: 200m individual medley, 400m individual medley.
Ted Stickles swam with Doc Councilman’s legendary Indiana University swim team from 1962-1965. At on point during his career, he and his roommate, Hall of Famer Chet Jastremski, held a total of seven world records. Ted dominated the individual medley throughout the early ’60s, breaking a total of nine world records throughout his career.
His mother taught him to swim at an early age, but it was not until he entered high school that Ted began competitive swimming. After enjoying a successful high school career, Hall of Famer Doc Councilman recruited him to his IU team.
At first, Ted felt that Doc had made a mistake in his recruitment, but before long, he surprised himself and began to break unforgettable records. Ted was one of the first people to actually train for the individual medley events. Ted’s ease in moving from one stroke to another and fluidity without breaking stroke helped him be the first person to break two minutes in the 200 yard individual medley and five minutes in the 400 meter individual medley. For a span of three years, Ted Stickles held all of the world records in the individual medley events.
At the height of his career, he developed tendonitis in his elbow, hindering his ability to train. Yet Ted continued to swim and barely missed making the ’64 Olympic team. This was a disappointment because his sister, Terri Stickles, made the team; they would have been the first brother and sister to make an Olympic team.
Ted went on to coach swimming for the University of Illinois and Louisiana State University. Presently, he resides in Louisiana with his wife and two children and is event management director for all athletic functions at Louisiana State University.

Drowning: The Ripple Effect – A Documentary
The Every Child A Swimmer Program Manager, Casey McGovern helped produce the documentary, “Drowning: The Ripple Effect”, while sharing her own touching story. “Every Child A Swimmer” was originally started in the 1960’s by Judge G. Harold Martin, one of the founding Fathers of ISHOF, and supported by the Kiwanis Club for many years. The Judge, as he was commonly referred to my his many friends, had a near drowning experience when he was a boy, and was the reason he came up with his spiritual mission: Every Child A Swimmer. It was also the reason the got involved with the Swimming Hall of Fame in the beginning. In 2019, Judge Martin’s family and the Kiwanis gifted the ECAS trademark and website to the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Under the leadership of ISHOF Chairman Dr. Bill Kent, he and McGovern have already done amazing things in the short time they have been in charge.
Casey works tirelessly, whether she is trying to get legislation passed, speaking to a group of aquatic related individuals or pool owners, or simply just out spreading the word about lessons for children. Her mission is simple: to make sure that not one more child drowns.
