ISHOF Chairman Bill Kent’s well-deserved star on Fort Lauderdale’s Walk of Fame is a day of fun, family, friends and celebration!

On Saturday, May 23, 2026, Our wonderful Leader, Dr. Bill Kent, Chairman of the Board of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, was celebrated in Fort Lauderdale as one of the newest Honorees on the Beach’s Walk of Fame. Pictures tell the story much better than we could. Everyone came out to celebrate Bill and then later his wife extraordinaire, Kim, put on an after party. Hats off to Bill AND Kim Kent! Thank you for all you do for ISHOF, Every Child and Swimmer, Horner and Fort Lauderdale!
