Honoree Induction Postponed

Induction Weekend Postponed
Until Fall of 2020

The International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) Induction Weekend has been postponed to the fall of this year (2020) due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. A tentative date of October 2nd and 3rd has been selected pending the availability of honorees, award winners, and successful negotiations with Marriott and sponsors. At this point, our Masters of Ceremonies – Rowdy Gaines and Debbie Meyer – have reaffirmed their intent to remain co-emcees for the event.

"We apologize for any inconvenience. The circumstances for the postponement of this important event were out of our control. ISHOF will confirm the new date shortly so that our patrons and supporters can reschedule their flights and reservations as soon as possible. We look forward to an exciting weekend later this year to celebrate the great achievements of those being inducted and to also recognize the contributions of others in the aquatic community," said Brent Rutemiller CEO and President of the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
