Arne Borg and Johnny Weissmuller
Each month ISHOF will feature an Honoree and some of their aquatic memorabilia, that they have so graciously either given or loaned to us. Since we are closed, and everything is in storage, we wanted to still be able to highlight some of the amazing artifacts that ISHOF has and to be able to share these items with you.
We continue in the new year, February 2025, with 1966 ISHOF Honoree ARNE BORG, Honor Swimmer, SWEDEN. Arne Borg donated many fabulous things to ISHOF and we want to share some of them with you now. Also below is his ISHOF Honoree bio that was written the year he was inducted, 1966, so it’s a bit outdated. Borg came to his induction in Fort Lauderdale in 1966 to be inducted. He is pictured here with fellow Honoree and Hollywood star, Esther Williams. Borg lived to the age of 87 years old.
Three gold medals from Borg’s collection from different events during the 1920’s.
Another medal for The Borg Collection
