A swimmer himself, he earned the undying admiration of the aquatic world in the Pacific Northwest as well as the national stage.<\/p>\n<p>Daughters mentored five Olympic swimmers, who trained out of his home base, the Washington Athletic Club (WAC) in Seattle. Four were freestylers who competed during the 1930s:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Helene Madison (1932, three gold, 17 world records)<br \/>\n\u2022 Jack Medica (1936, one gold and two silver, 11 world records)<br \/>\n\u2022 Olive McKean (1936, one bronze and a sixth-place finish)<br \/>\n\u2022 Mary Lou Petty (1936, one fourth-place finish)<\/p>\n<p>His fifth Olympian, Nancy Ramey, also was a world record holder (butterfly) and won a silver medal in 1956, bringing his swimmers\u2019 Olympic medal total to eight.<\/p>\n<p>Once described by Seattle Times sports editor Georg N. Myers as \u201ca Svengali in a bow tie,\u201d Daughters was a \u201cbig man who was brusque and burdened by an unceremonious and indestructible sense of humor.\u201d He also had an eye for talent, preferring it over just native speed. Before he retired to become WAC athletic director exclusively, Daughters worked closely with each swimmer, setting their practice hours and competitions. He emphasized conditioning, timing and rhythm, working meticulously during long practices to refine swimmers\u2019 strokes. He also advised on dietary habits and insisted on 10 hours sleep a night, knowing his athletes were going to bed exhausted.<\/p>\n<p>His methods produced results, earning swimmers at least 30 world and 301 American records as well as 74 national championships. Daughters liked to win, and he was not above scheduling swim meets to have his swimmers break national records. For instance, on Nov. 7, 1931, he conducted a meet specifically so that Madison could go for American records at 600, 700, 800 and 880 yards, while Medica aimed at the Northwest 220-yard standard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To hear more about Ray Daughters&#8217; coaching style from the likes of Bob Miller, Bob Regan, and Nancy Ramey,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Check out the January issue of Swimming World Magazine, available now!<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/issues\/2020\/swimming-world-magazine-january-2020-issue-pdf-only\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"409307\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-world-presents-ryan-murphy-refocused-and-ready-on-the-cover-of-january-2020-issue\/swimming-world-january-2020-cover-with-ryan-murphy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1070\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Swimming World January 2020 Cover with Ryan Murphy\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Swimming World January 2020 Cover with Ryan Murphy&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-766x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-409307 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming World January 2020 Cover with Ryan Murphy\" width=\"800\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-766x1024.jpg 766w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-150x201.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-300x401.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-450x602.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-673x900.jpg 673w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-374x500.jpg 374w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-245x327.jpg 245w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Swimming-World-January-2020-Cover-with-Ryan-Murphy-533x713.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Get <em>Swimming World Magazine<\/em> and <em>Swimming World Biweekly<\/em> FREE When You<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/product-category\/ishof-membership\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1522345712821000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGfwbLD2OaI21g28efcR0DZZlQSOQ\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Become A Member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Want More?
