The International Swimming Hall of Fame hosted it\u2019s 56th<\/sup> annual Honoree Induction ceremony, dinner and silent auction on October 9th<\/sup>.\u00a0 It was a bit different than most other inductions, in that none of our international Honorees were able to travel to the US to attend because of Covid restrictions.\u00a0 We took the safe road and hosted a \u201cUSA only\u201d induction, except for Elvira Khasynova<\/a>, <\/strong>Synchronized Swimmer from Russia, who now lives in Northern California and coaches at Stanford.<\/p>\n

The biggest change was that we combined the Masters International Swimming Hall of Fame Honorees and the Paragon Award Winners into the Saturday evening Induction program.<\/p>\n

In the past, the Paragon and the ISHOF Awards had its own evening the night before, and the Masters induction was during the annual United States Aquatic Sports Convention, which did not take place this year.<\/p>\n

The weekend began with a luncheon at the ISHOF front building, followed by a tour of the facility given by Rowdy Gaines<\/strong>, and ISHOF Aquatic Center Manager, Laura Voet<\/strong>.\u00a0 As all could see, that the renovation of the aquatic center is really moving along. All were mesmerized with the 27-meter high diving tower.<\/p>\n

Saturday evening\u2019s festivities began with a cocktail reception and silent auction.<\/p>\n

The evening was a sell out with Honorees, Board Members, aquatic greats, South Floridians, and local VIPs mingling to make new friends and reestablish existing ones.<\/p>\n

The night opened with a video<\/a> from our CEO, Brent Rutemiller<\/strong>, who was unable to attend the induction because he is fighting a rare form of cancer.\u00a0 He planned on attending up until the day before when his doctors at Mayo Clinic advised against it. A real disappointment, but we will hopefully see him next year.<\/p>\n

The evening saw 1964 Olympic gold medalist – Debbie Meyers<\/strong> and 1984 Olympic gold medalist and NBC Olympic Commentator – Rowdy Gaines emceeing the event.<\/p>\n

This year, ISHOF inducted two Honor Swimmers: R<\/a>ebecca Soni<\/a><\/strong> and Brendan Hansen<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rebecca Soni is a three-time Olympic gold medalist specializing in the breaststroke.\u00a0 Soni won back-to-back gold medals at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games in the 200m Breaststroke.\u00a0 She was also a member of the 4 x 100 medley gold medal relay team that took gold in London.\u00a0 Rebecca was inducted by fellow breaststroker, 1964 Olympic gold medalist, Catie Ball.<\/p>\n

\"Rebecca<\/p>\n

Brendan Hansen is also a breaststroke specialist and a three-time Olympic gold medalist.\u00a0 His Olympic career spans from 2004 Athens through 2012 London. Brendan was on the gold medal winning medley relay for three consecutive Games, 2004, 2008 and 2012, making him the top breaststrokers for eight solid years. Brendan was inducted by his University of Texas Coach, 2002 ISHOF Honor Coach, Eddie Reese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Brendan<\/p>\n

ISHOF inducted David Marsh<\/strong><\/a> as an Honor Coach. Marsh was the 2016 Team USA Head Olympic Women\u2019s Swimming Coach, the winningest coach in NCAA history in the state of Alabama, winning more titles than the famed Bear Bryant, with seven men\u2019s and five women\u2019s titles. Rowdy Gaines, one of Marsh\u2019s closest friends, inducted his former Auburn teammate.<\/p>\n

\"David<\/p>\n

Elvira Khasyanova<\/strong>, three-time Olympic gold medalist (2004, 2008, 2012) and nine-time World Champion for Russia in synchronized swimming was able to be present for her induction. \u00a0She is an assistant coach at Stanford University, living in California. Elvira was a member of Russia\u2019s National Team beginning in 1999 until she announced her retirement in 2012.\u00a0 She was inducted by ISHOF Open Water Swimmer and Board of Director, Sandra Bucha.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Elvira-Kasyanova\"<\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, was our longtime colleague and friend, Robert T. \u201cBob\u201d Duenkel.\u00a0 Bob Duenkel<\/strong><\/a> was inducted this year as an Honor Contributor.\u00a0 Bob had been with ISHOF since the 1970\u2019s.\u00a0 There was no one like Bob.\u00a0 He was a walking encyclopedia on swimming and aquatic sports. \u00a0Everyone knew and loved him.\u00a0 He was the face of ISHOF along with Buck Dawson<\/strong> for so many years. We lost Bob a couple of years ago, so his wife Colette, and daughter Teagan accepted the award on his behalf.\u00a0 What made the induction really special, was that Bob was inducted posthumously by his sister, Honor Swimmer and 1964 Olympic gold medalist (400 freestyle), Ginny Duenkel.<\/p>\n

\"Inductees

Ginny Duenkel (Inducted ’85), Debbie Meyer (Inducted ’77), Teagan Duenkel, and Colette Duenkel<\/p><\/div>\n

The culmination of the evening was the ISHOF Lifetime Achievement Award.<\/strong>\u00a0 The Award has only been given out four other times in ISHOF\u2019s history.\u00a0 Previous recipients include: Bob and Norma Maxwell<\/strong>, Greta Anderson<\/strong>, John McLaughlin<\/strong>, and most recently Jim Wood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The award was created to recognize the lifetime dedication and achievements in the swimming community. \u00a0Eddie Reese<\/strong><\/a> was a natural selection for ISHOF\u2019s Lifetime Achievement Award this year.\u00a0 Beginning his 57th<\/sup> year in the sport and his 44th<\/sup> year at Texas, Reese has had one of the most successful coaching careers in our sport, maybe in any sport.\u00a0 He recently won his 15th<\/sup> National Championship at the University of Texas. \u00a0Eddie thought briefly about retiring over the Summer, bur he was back on the pool deck for the start of the new year looking for that 16th<\/sup> championship! Reese was inducted into ISHOF in 2002 as an Honor Coach. \u00a0We now congratulate him as ISHOF\u2019s newest Lifetime Achievement Award winner.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Paragon Award winners that were present were a fabulous group.\u00a0 Ft. Lauderdale\u2019s very own, Dave Burgering<\/strong>, Head Diving Coach of the Ft.

Florence \u201cFlo\u201d Werner<\/strong> taught swimming for the American Red Cross (ARC) for over 50 years, and the ARC celebrated that achievement in 2011.\u00a0 Today she is 91 years young, and she still wants to help people learn to swim.\u00a0 As she will tell you, \u201cIt was her whole life!\u201d\u00a0 She began giving lessons for the ARC in the City of Miami in 1961 at the Curtis Pool, a few blocks from downtown Miami.\u00a0 Her life took many turns, but the constant for Flo was teaching swimming and making people safe around the water.\u00a0 Even when adults were afraid of the water, Flo helped make them comfortable enough to teach them how to swim.\u00a0 Therefore, Florence Werner was awarded this year\u2019s Paragon Award for Recreational Swimming.<\/p>\n

\"Florence-Werner\"<\/p>\n

There were a lot of wonderful speeches, a lot of sharing of stories and remembering of all those who made these wonderful aquatic people become who they are today.<\/p>\n

Another special part of the evening is seeing Honorees that were able to make it back to Fort Lauderdale to help celebrate the new class of inductees. \u00a0This year, our returning Honorees were: Ginny Duenkel Fuldner<\/strong>, Aaron Peirsol<\/strong>, Tom Gompf<\/strong>, Eddie Reese, Catie Ball Condon<\/strong>, Rowdy Gaines<\/strong>, Debby Meyer<\/strong>, Sandra Bucha<\/strong>, and Randy Reese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Masters Honorees attending were: Tom Boak<\/strong>, Carolyn Boak<\/strong>, Tim Shead<\/strong>, and John Denninger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most importantly, we have to thank all our sponsors, who without their support, none of this would be possible.\u00a0 Autopilot, the Bill Kent Family Foundation, the City of Fort Lauderdale, Duraflex, Every Child A Swimmer, FINA, Florida Gold Coast, Florida Pool Pro, Hensel Phelps, Horner Express, Keiser University, Paragon\/Pentair, Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, The Raymond C.

Dr. Bill Kent is the first person to receive the International Swimming Hall of Fame Legacy Award for his many years serving on ISHOF\u2019s board in various capacities including Treasurer and currently Chairman.\u00a0 He has donated countless hours of his time and significant financial support.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Dr. Kent has been the leading force in ISHOF acquiring the Every Child A Swimmer trademark and getting legislation passed at the Florida State legislature requiring all parents to be informed on the importance of swimming lessons in children before entering kindergarten.<\/p>\n

The award is an exact replica of the Olympic Tiles that currently sit outside the main ISHOF Museum which was installed in 1968.\u00a0 The current tiles will be removed prior to the demolition of our current museum and relocated to another visible spot in 2025.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/p>\n
