Lessons With The Legends: Sherm Chavoor
Swimming World continues its “Lessons With the Legends,” a series in which top coaches share secrets of their success, in the September issue with a feature on Sherm Chavoor, notable coach.
The Hawaiian native founded the Arden Hills Swim and Tennis Club in Carmichael, Calif. in 1954. During the late 1960s and 1970s, his athletes were earning individual and team national titles as well as Olympic championships.
Chavoor is, perhaps, most well-known for coaching Mark Spitz, Debbie Meyer, and Mike Burton, among others. He was a member of the coaching staff for both the 1968 and 1972 Olympic Games and earned the title of ASCA Coach of the Year in 1968 before being inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1977.
