LONGTIME BOWDOIN COLLEGE swimming coach Charlie Butt is here holding a kickboard signed by the 1964 U.S.A. Olympic Swimming Team. The kick board was presented to him at the Olympic games by the team. “Charlie was an unofficial manager for the team and he did a lot for the swimmers that Olympics behind the scenes,” said Long Reach Swim Coach Jay Morissette. “The kickboard has been on loan from Charlie to the Maine Swimming Hall of Fame for a year now and Charlie has agreed to donate it to the International Swimming and Diving Hall of Fame Museum in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. It will be matched up with a similar kickboard the museum has signed by the ’64 U.S.A. Olympic Women’s swimming team! The two kickboards have never been side by side.”
