ISHOF Swimmer Statue moved for Construction


The iconic swimmer sculpture that has stood on the grounds of the International Swimming Hall of Fame since 1973 is being moved to a temporary location during the demolition of the existing pools and construction of new ones. It was created by artist Don Seiler and commissioned by the local Leo Goodwin Foundation in honor of the achievements of Mark Spitz at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. It will be refurbished and restored to its original condition to stand in front of the ISHOF museum when pool construction is done.
