Swimming Australia Hall of Fame

The Swimming Australia Hall of Fame was established in 2022 by Swimming Australia "to both recognise and celebrate those athletes and coaches who have left an indelible mark on the sport at the international level."[1] The inaugural inductees were Freddy Lane, Fanny Durack, Dawn Fraser, Shane Gould and Ian Thorpe.[2] Gould's honour coincided with the 50th anniversary of her first gold medal at the Munich 1972 Olympic Games.[3]
