In the early 1940s, moviegoing in the U.S. was at its peak. The majority of Americans went to their local movie palace at least once a week! Hollywood stars served as role models for how to dress and behave. So Hollywood’s first swimming star had an enormous impact on the sport.
Almost an Olympian
Esther Williams started her career as a competitive swimmer. She would have competed in the 1940 Olympics had it not been cancelled due to the outbreak of World War II.

Lifelong Swimming Advocacy
As the International Swimming Hall of Fame put it upon her induction, “Her movie career played a major role in the promotion of swimming, making it attractive to the public, contributing to the growth of the sport as a public recreation for health, exercise, water safety -- and just plain fun.”

In the early 1960s, she retired from acting, but she remained active as a passionate promoter of swimming. Williams licensed her name for a line of swimming pools, swimming accessories, and retro women’s swimwear. She launched her own Swim, Baby, Swim video series, instructing parents on how to teach swimming to their children. At the 1984 Olympics, she served as a synchronized swimming commentator.
In the pre-Mark Spitz era, Esther Williams arguably did more than anyone to promote swimming in the U.S. With her skill, business savvy, and lifelong contributions to the sport, she was clearly more than just a “bathing beauty.”
