Help ISHOF move forward toward a new vision and museum. International Swimming Hall of Fame Launches One in a Thousand Campaign | | | The International Swimming Hall of Fame, a non-profit dedicated to serving the worldwide aquatics community, launches its One in a Thousand campaign to seek the support of 1,000 special members of the aquatics community who can help keep the organization moving forward toward a new vision and museum.
In these unprecedented times, ISHOF is looking for 1,000 special people in the worldwide aquatics community to step up and help us keep our visionary plans for the future and get us through these difficult times. | | "Our Goal is simple. If we get 1,000 people to simply commit $10, $25 or $50 per month, we will generate enough revenue to go beyond this Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis." - Bill Kent - Chairman of the ISHOF Board
"Those that believe in our vision, mission, and goals can join us in taking ISHOF into the future and be a part of aquatics history." - Brent Rutemiller - CEO and President of ISHOF | | | | Since 1965, ISHOF has been the global focal point for recording and sharing the history of aquatics, promoting swimming as an essential life-skill, and developing educational programs and events related to water sports. ISHOF's vision for the future is to build a new museum and expand its reach by offering its museum artifacts digitally through a redesigned website.
The ISHOF Board is calling on all members of the aquatics community to make a small monthly commitment to show their dedication to aquatics and how special the International Swimming Hall of Fame is to our entire worldwide aquatics family. | | | Join the One in a Thousand Club by helping ISHOF on a monthly or one-time basis.

- Founded in 1965, the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) museum opened its doors to the public in December of 1968 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. That same year, the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) - the governing body for Olympic aquatic sports – designated the ISHOF museum as the "Official Repository for Aquatic History".
- In 2018, Sports Publications Inc, publisher of Swimming World Magazine and its multi-media platforms, merged with ISHOF to expand the museum's reach and impact.
