“Gary Hall Sr. is probably the best collegiate swimmer in the world. He is just as valuable as Mark Spitz ever was and more and has given us academic acceptability. Gary’s accomplishments have helped tremendously in making people realize that Indiana University is a very good academic school.”
– “Doc” James Counsilman
James Counsilman’s testimony to Gary Hall, Sr. at their final NCAA Championships. Hall’s swimming record is one of the amazing successes. Gary has held 10 world swimming records. In both 1969 and 1970, he was named World Swimmer of the Year.
In the 1970 NCAA swimming Championship, he alone scored a record 56.5 points. He was a leader as Captain of the Indiana University swim team that in his senior year won its 6th straight NCAA Championship. Gary was elected team co-Captain for the Olympic men’s swim teams of 1972 and 1976.
In 1976, he was selected by all of the United States Olympic athletes to carry the American Flag leading the Olympic Team into the Opening Ceremonies in Montreal, Canada. He was the only USA Olympic swimmer ever selected for that honor until Michael Phelps in 2016.
He is the author of two highly acclaimed books, Fundamentals of Fast Swimming, a textbook on swimming technique. The second book is Winning Life’s Gold Medal, an inspirational self-help book that is filled with great swimming stories.[/ultimate_modal]
