Save The Dates: ISHOF Hall of Fame ’20 and ’21 Classes Will be Inducted in Spring and Fall of 2021

The International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) is inviting the entire aquatics community back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida on April 16-17, 2021 to celebrate the belated induction of its Class of 2020 Honorees, Paragon Award winners, and ISHOF recognitions.

“We have secured an agreement with the City of Fort Lauderdale and the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort and Spa to host 450 people in the spring of 2021.  We are being very proactive and optimistic that the Coronavirus will be under control,” said Brent Rutemiller – President and CEO for the International Swimming Hall of Fame.  “We have negotiated some exit clauses in our agreement, but for now we encourage everyone to “Save The Dates”!”

Expanding on ISHOF’s 2021 calendar, the Masters International Swimming Hall of Fame will be held in conjunction with next year’s 2021 United States Aquatic Sports Convention in Atlanta, Georgia on September 24, 2021.  The names of those Honorees will be forthcoming early next year.
Rounding out the 2021 calendar year, ISHOF has secured a fall date to celebrate its International Swimming Hall of Fame Class of 2021 with an expanded program.  The fall ISHOF induction will return to Fort Lauderdale, Florida on October 8-9, 2021.  We are in the early stages of combining our event with other entities and possibly having an official celebration of the renovated aquatic center and construction of 27-meter-high diving tower.
