  • Rose Mary Dawson Profile
    Check out the May issue of Swimming World Magazine to read, "A True Pioneer," by Linda Hass. The late Rose Mary Dawson was a visionary swim coach who died in 2003. The following article focuses on Mrs. Dawson's pioneering efforts for women in particular, and it uses the occasion of her club's upcoming 50th anniversary as the springboard for the story. The Ann Arbor Swim Club officially turns 50 years old in December 2005. The club plans to celebrate this milestone, and its founder, with a huge campaign that involves banquets, an e-magazine, and the publication of a paperback memorial booklet. Their publicity campaign will begin this August in anticipation of the December anniversary. As a brief background, Mrs. Dawson founded the Ann Arbor Swim Club in 1956 with only 60 girls. Little did she know that her club would span decades and produce Olympians. ROSE MARY DAWSON PROFILE By Linda Hass When Rose Mary Dawson started a competitive swim club for girls in Ann Arbor, Mich., she had no idea that the fruit of her labor would span decades, produce Olympic caliber athletes and blaze a trail for women. But it did. "Rose Mary was a true pioneer. She had the tenacity to create opportunities for women in a sport dominated by men," said Bob Dunkel, executive director of the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Liz Graziano, president of the Ann Arbor Swim Club, agreed. "Female swimmers of today owe her a debt of gratitude for opening doors and eliminating obstacles so they can pursue their dreams." The club will celebrate its 50th anniversary, and Dawson, in 2006, Graziano added.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. Yi necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
