He will be remembered mostly for his coaching at USC from 1958 until 1992. He was also one of the head Olympic Coaches in 1964 and 1972. He is linked to Coach James Docen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/192648?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 28 Oct 2014 06:21:38 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a08a9074-36e8-416b-ad6b-7ef8c82cbaa2Michael HeatherI remember swimming against the USC team when I was in Junior college. Even though we got creamed by his swimmers doing their off events, we felt as if we had accomplished something just by being there. My coach (Ron Ballatore) was very friendly with coach Daland and would tease him by being the only one who could get away with calling him, &quot;Peter.&quot; He held court many years in the USMS hospitality suite during the convention and seemed to have no end of stories and historical data with which to keep a large group in rapt attention. He will be missed.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/192640?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:14:08 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:b9038414-8c3a-480e-9bcd-9b79fa18f6e6TRYM_SwimmerSkip, Thanks for another of your splendid reflections on the giants of our sport. I remember being in awe of his swimmers, when I got to &quot;compete&quot; in the AAU Nationals (before qualifying times) at Yale in 1960 as a Freshman in HS. I was interested to read that he founded Suburban Swim Club in Philly. I swam for York YMCA and had a number of swimming friends from that club. They were our great rivals at the yearly age group LCM meet in the Kelly pool.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
