Extractions: The History of Swimming Pools By Mary Bellis Swimming as an organized activity goes back as far as 2500 B.C. in ancient Egypt and later in ancient Greece, Rome, and Assyria. In Rome and Greece, swimming was part of the education of elementary age boys and the Romans built the first pools (separate from bathing pools). The first heated swimming pool was built by Gaius Maecenas of Rome in the first century BC. Gaius Maecenas was a rich Roman lord and considered one of the first patron of arts - he supported the famous poets Horace, Virgil, and Propertius, making it possible for them to live and write without fear of poverty. However, swimming pools did not became popular until the middle of the 19th century. By 1837, six indoor pools with diving boards were built in London, England. After the modern Olympic Games began in 1896 and swimming races were among the original events, the popularity of swimming pools began to spread - Reference Britannica

Extractions: OLYMPIC HISTORY Swimming has been part of the Games since the beginning of the modern Olympiad in 1896 but the first two Games were rather quirky aquatic affairs, and exclusively male. The first was a 100 metres (or thereabouts) race between three Greek sailors across the Bay of Zea near Piraeus (not far from a place where cave drawings offer evidence of an ancient sport) that started with the rivals jumping from a rowing boat. The winner was Ioannis Malokinis in 2 minutes and 20 seconds. The second Games, in Paris, involved races up the Seine, one in which obstacles were placed in the way of swimmers and one where the point was to swim the whole distance under water - not much fun for the spectators! Still, at least the races were held with the tide, not against it. That helped John Arthur Jarvis on his way to capturing the 4,000 metres freestyle (an event never seen before or since) in less than an hour - a time many of those who swim for charity these days would be quite proud of.
Extractions: - in and out of the water From Craig Lord in Sydney Massimiliano Rosolino, from Naples, had the crowd on his side tonight as he raced to an Olympic record of 1min 58.98sec to become the first Italian to win the Olympic 200 metres medley title. Thanks to the presence of his Australian mother and the absence of a Telstra Dolphin in the race, Rosolino found himself the peoples choice. It seemed to spur him to heights undreamt. His victory was 0.93sec faster that the title has ever been won in before, and marked only the third Olympic gold medal for swimming to Italy in Games history. The other two went to Domenico Fioravanti in the 100 and 200 metres breaststroke. Rosolino, the only man to get a glimpse of Ian Thorpes wash in the 400 metres freestyle - a race in which he finished second - was seventh after the butterfly and third after the backstroke, with defending champion Attila Czene, of Hungary, and Tom Dolan, of the US, at the helm of the race. Over the next length, Rosolino pulled back a 2sec deficit to Czene and Dolan and passed Dolan by 0.3sec, as the Hungarian faded. What followed was a seering display of untiring power, as the man from Naples pulled away from the man from Michigan to end his race 0.79sec in the clear. Dolans 1min 59.77sec was also inside the previous Olympic record of 1.59.91sec, which had been held by Czene, who was beaten into fourth place by Tom Wilkens of the US, 2.00.87sec to 2.01.16sec. Back in last place was Jani Sievinen, of Finland, on 2.02.49sec. Sievinen still holds the world record, at 1.58.16sec, clocked when he became world champion in Rome, 1994. He went to Atlanta as favourite to win both Olympic titles but was beaten by Czene over 200 metres, while failing to make the final of the 400 metres.
Extractions: Home Parks and Recreation Hall of Fame Aquatic Complex Fort Lauderdale's swimming heritage dates back to the Civitan raft off Las Olas Boulevard and the monumental Casino Pool, which followed in 1928. As the first pool of Olympic size (50m x 20m) in Florida, it remained at the forefront of the swimming scene for nearly half a century and consequently witnessed a great deal of American swimming history. Located directly on the beach at what is now known as D.C. Alexander Park, just south of Las Olas Boulevard, this beautiful Spanish-style facility was engineered by Clifford Root and filled twice a week with salt water directly from the Atlantic Ocean.. The Casino Pool (1928-1966) was home to the nation's top swimmers for decades, namely, Katherine Rawls , Fort Lauderdale's first celebrity of sport and international athletic ambassador. The pool cost $150,000, and measured 50.38 meters by 18.3 meters, or 20 yards by 55 yards.

Extractions: Choose Sport Baseball M Basketball W Basketball Cross Country Football M Golf W Golf W Gymnastics W Soccer Softball Swimming/Diving M Tennis W Tennis W Volleyball W Water Polo Wrestling Cheer General Releases ASU Traditions The storied history of Arizona State's men's and women's swimming and diving programs includes 172 All-Americans, 55 national collegiate champions and 51 Olympians. In 1963, Walt Schlueter and Dick Smith were presented with the challenge of coaching ASU's first men's varsity swimming and diving team. Schlueter had coached the U.S. National swimming team at the 1950 Pan-American Games. Smith, had just been named the U.S. diving coach for the '64 Olympics. It wouldn't be long before the ASU men's program was as strong as their credentials. Two years before he'd win gold at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Bernie Wrightson became the Sun Devils' first NCAA champion, winning the 3-meter springboard in 1966 as ASU earned what would be its best national finish until 1982: 13th. In 1968, Keith Russell matched Wrightson with an NCAA 3-meter title of his own as ASU finished 16th in the nation. The Sun Devils wouldn't crack the national top-20 again until two years into Ron Johnson's head coaching campaign, when - along with third-year diving coach Ward O'Connell - he saw the Sun Devils place 20th in 1977. Helping ASU get there was Blake Johnson, who with a third-place finish in the 400 IM as a freshman, became the first ASU men's swimmer to earn All-America acclaim.

Extractions: The Elder swimming team splashed into prominence in its first season. Allan "Dutch" Mangold led the Panthers to a fifth-place finish in Elder's initial season of 1928-29. Dutch went on to earn third place in the 40-yard freestyle event in the state meet in Columbus. Elder won its first-ever GCL swimming championship in 1936 under Coach Red Donahue. Father Henry Ausdenmore led the Panther aquamen to another league title in 1937. Coach Paul Hartlaub's championship magic blended with Father Vince Schneider's coaching to earn the Purple and White two consecutive GCL and district championships in 1947 and 1948. The Panthers finished thirteenth in the 1947 state meet and climbed to a fourth place finish, Elder's best ever, in the 1948 classic at Columbus. Jim Trefzger won Elder's only state swimming title in 1948 as he won the 100-yard breaststroke event with a then school-record time of 1:06.2. Trefzger finished second in his favorite event at Columbus in 1947 and 1949. Swimming was revived as an interscholastic sport in Pantherland in the fall of 1963 under Coach Tom Davoran. From then until 1970, Coach Davoran led the Panthers as they regained their competitive level in the sport. Coach Davoran's top individual performer, Bruce Rathman, finished second in the 100-yard butterfly event in the state meet in 1966, after taking top honors in his specialty in the Cincinnati district swim.
