“There are many of our present-day ‘crack’ swimmers who owe their success to Jim Sterrett’s coaching. His advice to young swimmers is always on tap. He is ever ready and willing to do what he can to further the sport, and what he did for swimming in this part of the country would fill a volume.”
Prof. Charles Holroyd, Swimming Instructor, Training School, Pittsburgh, Pa.
“Jim Sterrett’s work for swimming during the past 25 years has done much toward organizing the sport in this country. He has made it possible for a number of expert teachers to secure positions, while he himself has started many a young lad with the proper stroke, who has afterward become a successful racer.”
Charles B. Durborow, America’s Long-distance Swimmer.
“I have had advice from numerous coaches in connection with my training for long-distance events, but Mr. Sterrett has been tireless in his interest in my swimming and has accompanied me on many of my big performances, and has always been a steadfast and dependable friend and adviser. I have closely watched his work as a coach of speed swimmers, in which line he has been so successful.”
Gordon M. Mullen, Swimming Instructor, Hygeia Baths, Atlantic City, N. J.
