American swimming owes a lot to Stan Tinkham. A two-time All-American at the University of North Carolina, in 1954 he was installed as head coach of the Walter Reed Swim Club in Washington, D.C. Twenty-two years of age at the time and an Army private, Tinkham jump-started a coaching career that in short order had his Walter Reed squad holding half of the U.S. women’s records and three world records. When those same athletes comprised nearly half of the 1956 women’s Olympic roster, he was named head coach.

For his longstanding contributions to the sport, he has been inducted into four halls of fame, including ISHOF, ASCA, Univer- sity of North Carolina and the Montgomery County Swim League.

To learn more about Coach Tinkham, check out the October 2017 issue of Swimming World Magazine, available now!
