Kay Curtis instituted synchronized swimming as an integral part of the University of Wisconsin’s physical education program. The first-known synchronized swimming competition in the United States was a dual meet between Wright Junior College and the Chicago Teacher's College held May 27, 1939, at Wright Junior College in Iowa. Eleanor Holm, 1936 Olympian, performed at the World's Fair in New York, popularizing synchronized swimming nationwide. Esther Williams, U.S. 100-meter freestyle champion and Olympic contender, was credited for popularizing synchronized swimming in the United States through her performances at the World's Fair in San Francisco and subsequent MGM movies. The AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) adopted synchronized swimming as an official competitive sport for duet and team events. The first Synchronized Swimming Championship was held March 1, 1940, in Willamette, Ill. Because of World War II, no national events were held again until 1946. The first AAU Senior National Synchronized Swimming Championship was held August 11, 1946, in Chicago, Ill., with only the team event. The duet event was held September 8, 1946 in Hinsdale, Ill.

The site which can be accessed through www.ishof.org , is intended to be an informational and inspirational resource for aquatic facilities, schools and parents interested in drowning prevention and swimming. “The mission of the International Swimming Hall of Fame is to inspire everyone to be a swimmer,” says Bruce Wigo, President and CEO of ISHOF. “The fact is that the aquatic community hasn’t done a good job of making the benefits and opportunities that derive from knowing how to swim in certain non-white ethnic communities. It’s a complex issue and we hope that our website can contribute to the causes of motivating parents to get their kids water safe first, and then swimming forever. Lee Pitts, nationally known TV personality and swim instructor, introduces the site in a video filmed on the set of his TV show

Aylestone Boat House The history of outdoor swimming in the rivers of Leicester City The Walkers Stadium; the Tigers Ground; it's hard to imagine that a time might arrive when these symbols of sporting excellence could slip from Leicester's memory. Yet this is just what has happened to Leicester's great swimming tradition. The Roman baths lay in ruins, our swimming stadiums: Abby Park, The Bede House, Kenwood Lido, the Humberstone Lido and even St Margaret's Baths are now nothing but a memory. The lives of Thomas Cook, Daniel Lambert, Jenny Fletcher and John Jarvis, have all been lived in our city and their legacy laid to rest - until now. Hung Out to Dry Swimming and British Culture, puts flesh on the bones of British history, exposing for the first time the dramatic impact that swimmers have had on culture and morals. Readers will discover why our Roman Baths closed, why swimmers were chased out of Abbey Park, and how bathers in Leicester helped reshape not just British culture but to varying degrees that of the world.
