Jimmy Thompson was a Scottish-born Canadian freestyle swimmer who won a bronze medal in the 4×200-metre freestyle relay at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam; he also competed in the 400-metre and 1500-metre freestyle events, but failed to reach the finals. Two years later he won a gold medal in the 4×200-yard freestyle relay at the 1930 British Empire Games.
Later he initiated a government-sponsored swimming program for poor, and between 1932 and 1966 worked as the head coach of the Hamilton Aquatic Club. He was named Hamilton's Citizen of the Year in 1959, Canada's Swimming Coach of the Year in 1964, and was inducted into the Hamilton Sports and Ontario Aquatic Halls of Fame. Hamilton's Jimmy Thompson Memorial Swimming Pool carried his name. He died of cancer in 1966.

We had a pool when I was growing up, so my mom took me to swimming lessons when I was little.

@CookieCrumbs Great 👍 I had a hard time staying a float 😅. A friend suggested I’d learn to swim under water first .It worked 🤷♂️🙌

That was my experience too. I knew how to 'dive' for coins in the swimming pool before I learned how to swim properly .🥸

Nobody. I spent a lot of time fishing and swimming in lakes, so I just figured it out. Then I had "drown-proofing" in college, the most valuable course I ever had.
