    In 1958 I swam a relay with a flying start 110yards lc in 59.8 that was my fastest around that time. I started doing fly in 1955. All the Individual events at the games were 200m and I only did the 100. The record for the 100 were as follows 57.0 Luis NICOLAO ARG 27-04-1962 Rio de Janeiro, BRA 58.4 Luis NICOLAO ARG 24-04-1962 Rio de Janeiro, BRA 58.6 Fred SCHMIDT USA 20-08-1961 Los Angeles, CA, USA 58.7 Lance LARSON USA 24-07-1960 Toledo, OH, USA 59.0 Lance LARSON USA 26-06-1960 Los Angeles, CA, USA 1:01.0 Takashi ISHIMOTO JPN 14-09-1958 Kochi, JPN 1:00.1 Takashi ISHIMOTO JPN 29-06-1958 Los Angeles, CA, USA The 59.0 was the first time they broke the minute. I retired from training in 1958 and only swam when the coach asked me to swim in races the only swimming I did was Waterpolo Practices 2 times a week from 1958 til 1963 when I started to train for the marathon races.
