While not exactly on topic--Fred Rogers (of MisterRoger's Neighborhood) was well-known, in Pittsburgh, for his love of swimming. He was seen many times at the local pools (I think U of Pitt's Trees or CMU's pool) doing his daily swim.
He did many shows related to swimming--even showing himself swimming with others. One of his early frequent guests was Coach Will Saunders who, in the 60s, was the coach for one of the local high school swim teams.
