Video Archives - Reizo Koike

The International Swimming Hall of Fame's film and video archive, which dates to the 1920's, is the most extensive and comprehensive in the world. As we continue to preserve and transfer footage from film to DVD, we will be adding to the virtual archive so that historic events from aquatic history can be enjoyed throughout the world.

Reizo Koike
Reizo Koike was one of the world's greatest breaststroke swimmers during the decade of the 1930s. In 1932, at the tenth Olympiad of Los Angeles, the only breaststroke event was the 200m, and the favorite was Japan's gold medal winner of the 1928 games, Yoshi Tsuruta. At the end of the preliminaries, he and Koike had both set new Olympic records of 2:46.2.
