ISHOF has begun a new cataloging system and we will try to start posting memorabilia items for everyone to enjoy. We cannot possibly display all our fabulous items, so this way, we can begin to showcase some of them.
This is the synchronized swimming costume Dawn Bean wore at the 1955 Pan American Games in Mexico City, which was held from March 12 through March 26, 1955. Dawn played two roles as both coach and swimmer, and she took home gold along with her two sisters, Joan and Lynn. Her husband Ross was co-coach along with her, it was truly a family affair.
