Did you know that here is a International Swimming Hall of Fame, recognizing aquatic athletes, heroes, contributions, and influencers? And that Benjamin Franklin is honored there? Sign up to learn historical tidbits about swimming, swimmers, and swimwear. Bette Sherman will show us suits and bathing hats by the decades. Deb Price will tell us about Olympians, how the butterfly came about, and more.

Moderators: Bette Sherman is a fashion historian and collector who has shared her wit and knowledge with groups throughout the U.S. and even aboard cruise ships. Deb Price is a retired educator who taught swimming at Coney Island's Sunlite Pool for many years. Both are long-time OLLI moderators.
