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.
