Swiminfo reported that Doc died this morning. The obit can be found at www.swiminfo.com. Anyone have any stories, thoughts, reflections, etc on Doc? Having grown up swimming in Indiana and attending swim camp at IU, Doc definitely played a part in my development and love of swimming. He was a wonderful person who will definitely be missed.

The legacy of James "Doc" Counsilman touches all of us who swim. The Greater Indiana Masters have made a donation to the United States Masters Swimming Endowment Fund in his memory and urge all clubs, teams and individuals to do likewise. Two of the the first three grants from the Endowment Fund have gone to the Counsilman Center for the Study of Swimming.
