The International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) inducted its 58th class on Saturday night at the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale. Thirteen influential figures from the world of aquatics were enshrined, and the event was broadcast live on ESPN+.

Among the honorees was Michael Phelps, the 28-time Olympic medalist whose talent changed what was believed to be attainable in the sport. Phelps’ coach, Bob Bowman, also earned induction, along with swimmers Missy Franklin, Kosuke Kitajima, Kirsty Coventry and Cesar Cielo. Combined, the five swimmers captured 51 Olympic medals during their illustrious careers.
