Does anyone remember: When were flip turns in free style invented/introduced in competitive swimming? When did goggles become 'standard equipment' for swimmers? Thanks!

  • Bill Yorzyk wore diving goggles in 1954. I remember seeing him workout with them on in Meiji Pool in Tokyo. We were on a trip with Ford Konno, George Breen, Bill and myself. Those goggles were huge, like a facemask.
