According to Indiana Athletics, Marjorie “Marge” Counsilman<\/strong> passed away on August 17, 2017. Counsilman was 93 years old at her time of passing and was a resident of Bloomington, Indiana.<\/p>\n

Counsilman is best known for her International Swimming Hall of Fame Grande Dame Honor. She was given the award in 2004 for being a woman\u00a0\u201cwho has been involved in swimming for a long period of time in her life. She is seen as a mom, a helper, an organizer, a promoter, a worker, a teacher, an authority, a friend, an enthusiast and a counselor.”<\/p>\n

She served as a surrogate mother to the IU Swimming & Diving teams during the 33-year coaching career of her late husband Doc Counsilman<\/a><\/strong>. She provided emotional stability, team dinners and ran many behind-the-scenes operations at swim meets.<\/p>\n

Current IU Head Coach Ray Looze<\/strong> described her as “the first lady of Indiana Hoosier swimming in perpetuity.” The team has since created the\u00a0Marge Councilman Service Award\u00a0in her honor. She will be remembered for her dedication to the IU Swimming & Diving program and to hard work throughout all aspects of her life.<\/p>\n

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Indiana University Athletics is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Marjorie \u201cMarge\u201d Counsilman\u00a0on Thursday<\/span>. She was the of late IU swimming coach James \u201cDoc\u201d Counsilman and mother to late IU assistant coach Brian Counsilman<\/strong>. Our thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

During Doc\u2019s tenure as head men\u2019s swimming coach at Indiana from 1957-1990, Marge was right by his side, helping Doc and the Hoosiers win six-consecutive NCAA Championships from 1968-1973 and 23 Big Ten titles, including 20-straight from 1961 to 1980. Doc also saw his swimmers break 52 world records, 154 American records and 106 individual NCAA records.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarge and Doc Councilman were the definition of \u2018a team\u2019 that lead IU swimming to the greatest achievements of any university in the sport of NCAA and Olympic-level swimming,\u201d Indiana head swimming coach Ray Looze remarked. \u201cI am sure Doc would have been the first person to acknowledge how important she was to the overall success of the program during his coaching tenue.\u00a0We established the Marge Councilman Service Award to highlight her many behind the scenes contributions to this great era of IU swimming.\u00a0She will always be remembered as \u2018the first lady\u2019 of Indiana Hoosier swimming in perpetuity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marge was an important part of the overall success of the IU team during the 33 years Doc coached. She was the team’s surrogate mother. She was a source of emotional stability during a swimmer’s tumultuous time of competitive swimming. She hosted dinners and gatherings at her home. She ran the swim meets, including the Indiana State Championships, staffed the scoring table and kept the records.<\/p>\n

Marge ran the 16mm stroke film and pace clock business from 1959 when the first pace clock was sold until 1974 when the business became incorporated. At that time, she became secretary-treasurer of Counsilman Company until the corporation dissolved in 1990.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarge played a vital role in Doc’s and IU’s success in the pool,\u201d said Joel Stager<\/strong>, the Director at the Counsilman Center for the Science of Swimming.\u00a0\u201cShe represented a surrogate mother to thirty years\u2019 worth of swimmers and not just those who swam here in Bloomington. She was highly respected by swimmers around the country and the world, providing them all with a safe home environment in Bloomington though their own families in many cases were thousands of miles away. Her lasagna dinners remain legendary with all those who were lucky enough to have tasted it\u00a0She was a full partner to Doc and Hobbie, and while they grabbed the headlines, Marge lived her life with grace and good humor by Doc’s and wouldn’t have had it any other way.\u00a0\u00a0She will be greatly missed by the swim community.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2004, Marge was recognized with the Grande Dame Award from the International Swimming Hall of Fame, which is given to a woman \u201cwho has been involved in swimming for a long period of time in her life. She is seen as a mom, a helper, an organizer, a promoter, a worker, a teacher, an authority, a friend, an enthusiast and a counselor\u201d.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Marge was bestowed the Bill Orwig Award from IU, which recognizes outstanding contributions made by a non-alumnus to the Indiana University athletic program.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Marge and Doc were inducted in to the Monroe County Sports Hall of Fame, where it was noted that Marge was \u201ca strong partner in all phases of Doc\u2019s career, typed three books and was the business director of youth camps. Also, was a beloved surrogate mother to hundreds of Doc\u2019s IU swimmers\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
