1970s Women’s Swimming Team<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The swimming and diving program began to take shape at the Norfolk Division of the College of William & Mary<\/strong> after the hiring of Joseph C. “Scrap” Chandler<\/a><\/strong> as athletic director in 1942. The program really took off after WWII with Chandler as coach, a position he would hold until 1965. That year, women’s swimming became a varsity sport and Beverly Burton<\/strong> served as the coach until 1973. In 1974, Mary Fleet<\/strong>, a former star swimmer at ODU, became coach of both the men’s and women’s teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
