The Yale Swimming Association was founded on March 8, 1952 at the Ray
Tompkins House in New Haven. The first officers of the Association were
Edward (Hap) T. Hetzler '23, President; Howard R. Johnson '42,
vice-President; and Russell P. Duncan '40,
Secretary-Treasurer. The annual dues at the time were three dollars ($3.00)
per member.
While times have changed since the YSA's first days, our mission has not.
As always, the purpose of this association is to renew, strengthen and
increase the interests and friendships formed in the Yale swimming family by
a closer
relationship with the undergraduate team and other swimming alumni and
friends.
How can you help? Simply, be a part of our community: Attend a meet. Share
stories. Send pictures. Plan an event. Fundraise. Smile for John Lapides'
camera.
We're all fortunate to have been a part of something very special. It is now
our responsbility to ensure that others can share in our wealth of
friendships, memories, and barely legal fun.
