From the web:
Viola Cady Krahn, the holder of 17 masters world diving titles and whose lifelong swimming and diving career earned her induction into a swimming hall of fame.
Krahn's induction into the International Masters Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in January capped a diving and swimming career that began more than 80 years ago.
Krahn began swimming and diving in 1919 after her family moved from Arizona to Los Angeles. She won junior national diving championships in 1922, '23 and '24. In 1922, she set the fastest pace for a female at that time for the 220 meters.
During the 1920s in Los Angeles, athletes mingled with movie stars, and Krahn knew such celebrities as Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller, who starred in the "Tarzan" movies, as well as Harold Lloyd, Al Jolson, Buster Crabbe, Errol Flynn and surfing's Duke Kahanamoku.
