Dick Cleveland - '51 2. William Woolsey - '59 Justification for the Hå¡vai'i Swimmine Hall ofFarne Medallion Centered on the Hawai'i Swimming Hall of Fame Medallion is Hawai'i's first Olympic Swimrning Champion, the internationally famous, Duke Paoa Kahanamoku. Duke competed in four Olympiads (1912,1920, 1924, and 1932.) This outstanding swimmer won I total of three gold medals, two silver medals, and a bronze medal. His amazing competitive record would have been extended had the 1916 Olympics not been cancelled due to World War I, and his illness in 1928. Behind Duke on the Medallion is The WaitifWar Memorial Natarorium which was dedicated in 1927. Appropriately, ?trke dedicated the opening of the Natatorium with an exhibition swim. Until the 1960's The Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium was the setting for many swimming and diving competitions. This landmark hosted numerous swimmers and divers from around thã world. Several lVorld, American and Hawaiian records were set in this tropical environment. In the background of the medallion is Hawai'i's famous landmarh Diamond Head, which is surrounded by swaying palm trees. Thus, Duke Kahanamoku, The Wa¡tJlãWar Memorial Natatorium, and Diamond Head are representative of the devotion, the honor, and the spirit of Hawai'i's Swimming HaIl of Fame recipients.
