I just found out that Chet Jastremski, the originator of the whip kick, and first man under a minute for the 100 yd ***, passed away last month. He was my idol during my early Breaststroke days. I had just started swimming again in '72 when a DC friend invited me to go to Long Course Nationals in Indianapolis. I passed because I felt I wasn't ready. Later I found out that he had swum. It would have been the only chance for me to see him in person.
RIP, Chet! You led the way for all of us.
