The USMS History & Archives Committee maintains this archive of stories about people who are or have been prominent in USMS. Our goal is to collect stories about everyone who has held a national office in USMS, all who have been recipients of national awards, and ISHOF honorees who have competed in USMS meets. We would also like stories about USMS All-Americans and those who have held major offices in their LMSC's. A list of swimmers whose stories are needed can be found here.

Thanks to Keith Bell, Meg Smath, Phil Whitten, Betsy Durrant, June Krauser, Janice Krauser, Skip Thompson, Joan P Smith, Meegan Wilson, Jim Krueger, and Dorothy Donnelly for their suggestions and help. Also, special thanks to the Henning Library at the International Swimming Hall of Fame and to Preston & Rita Levy for their help.
