Vermont Open Water Swimming Hall of Fame ([[VTOWSHOF]]) is a hall of fame that was established by [[Phil White]] and [[Ned Denison]] and founded on 24 January 2017.  [[Charlotte Brynn]] is the executive director of the Vermont Open Water Swimming Hall of Fame.

==Mission==

Vermont is the only landlocked state in New England.  Yet, it is blessed with many wondrous [[freshwater]] lakes, including river-fed lakes like [[Champlain]] and [[Memphremagog]], and glacially carved, majestic, pristine lakes sitting atop their watershed, like [[Willoughby]] and [[Crystal]].  Many of these lakes, especially in the three-county area known as the [[Northeast Kingdom of Vermont]] are distinguished by light boat traffic and tranquility.  

For centuries, Vermont presented a perfect place to swim.   In the advent of the 21st century, the lakes of Vermont have become a hotbed for [[open water swimmer]]s, many of whom have grown up on these lakes to become world-class ultra-[[marathon swimmer]]s as well as [[cold water swimmer]]s, [[winter swimmer]]s, [[ice swimmer]]s, and [[adventure swimmer]]s.

The mission of the Vermont Open Water Swimming Hall of Fame is to recognize those Vermonters and those with substantial connections to Vermont who have achieved greatness in the open water and those who make significant, awe-inspiring contributions to their success.  

==Eligibility==

Eligibility is open to residents of the State of Vermont or those with a substantial connection to Vermont at the time of their achievements.  It is open to [[open water swimmer]]s who use [[wetsuit]]s or these with physical issues which necessitate the use of appropriate aids.  In addition to achievements and contributions, the character of the individual (or organization) will be taken into account during selection for induction or to remain an Honoree. 

==Management and Voting==

The current Honorees shall vote annually on new inductees. They will also manage the Vermont Open Water Swimming Hall of Fame and develop and evolve rules and procedures for the conduct of the Hall going forward.

==Initial Honoree Categories==

1. Marathon Open Water Swimmers where a marathon swim is defined as an epic (long course) swim of 10 km or greater.<br/>
2. Contributors including [[Pilot]]s, [[Crew]], [[Kayaker]]s, and [[Coach]]es.<br/>
3. [[Cold Water Swimmer]]s, [[Winter Swimmer]]s, [[Ice Swimmer]]s of any distance in water temperatures 5°C or less, and [[Adventure Swimmer]]s.<br/>

==Class of 2018 Honorees==

*[[Deborah J. Beier]] (born 30 November 1952 – died 24 April 2017) was an integral contributor in the growth of Vermont Open Water Swimming from 2009 onwards when she began [[kayak]] support of [[open water swimmer]]s based in Vermont. Her can-do attitude and [[kayak]] support was valuable to  many [[open water swimmer]]s in Vermont whether it be spotting, [[kayak]] support or a friendly wave on the lake during [[marathon swim]] training, [[marathon swim]]s or [[ice swim]]s.   In 2009 she was a [[kayaker]] for the first [[Northeast Kingdom Open Water Swimming Association]] ([[NEKOWSA]]) event, she continued to [[kayak]] for [[NEKOWSA]] swims in support of [[Paula Yankauskas]] from 2009- 2016, including multiple [[Son of a Swim]]s,  [[Border Buster]] swims and [[Swim The Kingdom]] Weeks. She was well-known for her kayak crew – Cat Stanley as figurehead on the front of her kayak along with her dog Picard.  Her [[kayak]] support extended far beyond Vermont waters. She was part of the first Vermont contingent of swimmers and kayakers that journeyed to Arizona for [[SCAR]] in 2014, and she returned there in 2015 and 2016 kayaking for [[Paula Yankauskas]]. She also kayaked [[Swim The Suck]] in Tennessee in 2016 and made significant crew contributions. Most notable, her crew support of [[Paula Yankauskas]]’s [[English Channel]] [[crossing]] in 2016 enabled her to set the record for the oldest American woman to swim the [[English Channel]] at the time.  In 2011 she was crew for [[Charlotte Brynn]] during the first 25.2 mile [[In Search of Memphre]], which re-established international swimming on [[Lake Memphremagog]] at a time it was widely believed that the border was closed to swimming. Deborah crewed yet another record-breaking swim in 2014 when she and [[Cynthia Needham]] crewed for [[Paula Yankauskas]] during [[In Search of Memphre]] when Yankauskas became  the oldest swimmer to make the crossing.  Beier and Yankauskas were a team and a force as they took on lakes, rivers and sea channels together. Beier passed away in 2017, a sad loss for Vermont Open Water Swimming.

*[[Greg O’Connor]], 48 of Natick, Massachusetts, is a [[marathon swimmer]], [[ice swimmer]] and contributor.  For many years, O’Connor has been a charismatic organizer of [[Boston Light Swim]], the oldest [[marathon swim]] in North America, one of the founders of the [[Massachusetts Open Water Swimming Association]], a co-founder of [[Vampire Swim]], and a regular [[L Street]] swimmer in Boston.  He is an accomplished and recognized [[ultra-marathon swimmer]], having completed the [[Catalina Channel]], [[MIMS]], [[END-WET]], [[P2P]] across the Massachusetts Bay and set the co-record in the [[Boston Light]] 16-mile [[double crossing]] for which he has been acknowledged by [[IMSHOF]] and [[WOWSA]].  His quiet presence in Vermont has been central to the growth and success of [[open water swimming]] in Vermont.  He was the very first person to sign up for the 10-mile [[Kingdom Swim]] in its inaugural year in 2009.  He has been swimming and piloting patrol boats at [[Kingdom Swim]] regularly ever since.  When [[Elaine Kornbau Howley]] helped establish [[In Search of Memphre]] in 2011 to re-launch international swimming in [[Lake Memphremagog]], Greg was the second person to sign on for this 25-mile swim, and one of only four swimmers to complete the swim that first year, overcoming fierce headwinds throughout the night.  He has been a pilot for [[The Search]] on numerous years since that inaugural swim.  When [[winter swimming]] was launched in Vermont, Greg was there as one of the first swimmers to sign on and has been a strong force on the Organizing Committee of the [[Memphremagog Winter Swimming Festival]], helping to assure that [[winter swimming]] in Vermont continued beyond its first year to become an annual event that continues to draw swimmers from all over North America and Europe.
 
*[[Elizabeth Fry]], 57 of Westport, Connecticut, is a [[marathon swimmer]] and contributor.  Fry is a living legend in the international community of [[open water swimmer]]s.  She completed the [[Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming]] and has also completed the [[Reverse Triple]].  She has double crossed the [[English Channel]] (swimming the [[English Channel]] a total of 6 times) and double-crossed the [[Ederle Swim]].   She has swum across the [[Molokai Channel]] in Hawaii and the [[Tsugaru Channel]] in Japan and the [[Round Jersey]] [[circumnavigation swim]].  She double crossed each of the four lakes in the Arizona [[SCAR Swim Challenge]], an unprecedented feat that has yet to be repeated.  She made history in Vermont waters, when she joined the inaugural [[In Search of Memphre]] in 2011.  Battling fierce headwinds through the night, she became the first of four to complete that 25-mile international [[cross-border swim]].  In doing so, she broke through the belief that the border was closed to international swimming and re-opened this iconic route for the many more who have followed since.  That first year of [[Memphre]], five of the nine solo swimmers did not make it.  Liz signed on to return the next year and mentor those who failed to complete the first year.  [[Bill Shipp]], [[David Dammerman]], and [[Jennifer Dutton]] successfully completed despite another year of strong winds.  Liz has always been eager to help [[marathon swimmer]]s as they take on greater challenges.  In doing so, Liz has served as a mentor to Kingdom Swimmers looking to swim ultra distances beyond the fresh waters of Northeast Kingdom lakes, helping them to realize their dreams of [[channel crossing]]s and circumnavigations in bigger bodies of water. 

*[[Elaine Kornbau Howley]], 40 of Waltham, Massachusetts, is a [[marathon swimmer]], [[ice swimmer]] and contributor.  Elaine is a powerful force in the world of [[open water swimming]] as a swimmer, an organizer, a writer, and [[support crew]].  She was the 32nd person to complete the [[Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming]], is the co-record holder of the 16-mile [[Boston Light]] double, and completed the 34-mile [[Lake Pend Oreille]] [[crossing]] in 2014.  She is Co-Director of [[Boston Light]] and co-founder of the [[Massachusetts Open Water Swimming Association]].  She is a freelance writer.  Her articles on [[open water swimming]] have been frequently published.  Elaine has been a constant and major presence in Vermont for many years and in many capacities.  She has been an early and frequent participant in the 10-mile distance at [[Kingdom Swim]] as well as the [[Willoughby Swim]].  In 2011. she was a co-founder of  [[In Search of Memphre]] which re-established international swimming on [[Lake Memphremagog]] at a time it was widely believed that the border was closed to swimming.  She was one of only four who completed the swim that first year, overcoming fierce headwinds throughout the night.  She went on to swim across [[Lake Tahoe]] in California and [[Loch Ness]] in Scotland to become the second person to complete the [[Triple Crown of Lake Monster Swims]].  She is an [[ice swimmer]], was one of the [[41 Pioneers]] to participate in the first [[winter swim]] on [[Lake Memphremagog]] under daunting conditions in 2015.  Elaine has been a regular, badass and cheerful support ([[crew]] and [[pilot]]) during [[The Search]] and at [[Kingdom Swim]], and served as an [[observer]] for [[Sarah Thomas]]’ 104-mile world record breaking swim on [[Lake Champlain]] in 2017.  As a writer, she has chronicled some of the grand history of the storied professional and amateur swimming the length of [[Lake Memphremagog]], The Monster Within and Without in Outdoor Swimmer. and has written frequently about swimmers and swimming in the Kingdom.
 
*[[Steven Muñatones]], 55 of [[Huntington Beach]], California is a [[marathon swimmer]] and contributor.  It’s hard to imagine an international [[open water swimming]] community without Muñatones and his work for the [[Daily News of Open Water Swimming]], [[Openwaterpedia]], [[WOWSA]], the [[Global Open Water Swimming Conference]]s and others.  Steven is an indefatigable presence reporting on the big and the small of [[open water swimming]] news around the world, round the clock, seven days a week and quietly assembling an online historical record.  His presence and voice regarding Vermont’s open water swimming scene may not be so well recognized, but his impact should not be underestimated.  He has been a competitor and covered the professional swim, la [[Traversée internationale du lac Memphrémagog]]. swimming the length of [[Lake Memphremagog]] in 1984 in 9 hours 16 minutes and 9 hours 13 minutes in 1985.  And, he was there right from the start covering the first [[Kingdom Swim]] in 2009, the establishment of [[Be Kind to Your Yacker Week]] in April, the formation of [[NEKOWSA]] on a very cold weekend in January 2010, the inauguration of the [[Willoughby Swim]], the re-opening of international swimming between Newport and Magog, [[In Search of Memphre]], the creation of the [[NEK Swim Week]] in 8 lakes over the course of 9 days totaling 46 miles, the first [[winter swim]] and the cutting of a two-lane, 25-meter pool in the ice of [[Memphremagog]], and the opening of [[The Clubhous]] in Derby, Vermont in 2013 as the nerve center for [[open water swimming]] and [[winter swimming]] in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and the Eastern Townships of Quebec.  Steve’s coverage has been broad, frequent, relentless and unequivocally supportive.  He  identified [[Kingdom Swim]] as one of the top 100 swims in the world, [[Willoughby]] and [[In Search of Memphre]] as two of the top 100 swims in the US, and [[Memphremagog]] and [[Willoughby]] among two of the top 50 open water swimming venues in the Americas.  “Steven had such a large &  positive impact on Vermont Open Water Swimming, he has offered encouragement and support to swimmers and  event directors, volunteers and organizers  in such a way that has exponentially aided the growth of our great Vermont open water community,” said [[Charlotte Brynn]], chairperson of the Vermont Open Water Swimming Association 

*[[Shelley Taylor-Smith]], 56 of Perth, Australia, is a [[marathon swimmer]].  Shelley is a pool and [[open water swimming]] legend from Western Australia who has been inducted in both the [[International Swimming Hall of Fame]] in 2009 and the [[International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame]] in 1989 for her exploits as a seven-time world professional marathon swimming champion with the [[World Professional Marathon Swimming Federation]]. She  held the professional women’s No.1 world ranking from 1988 to 1995. She set the world record for the 48 km (28.5-mile) [[Manhattan Island Marathon Swim]] in 1995, a record which stood until recently.  She earned an unprecedented overall No.1 world ranking on the [[World Professional Marathon Swimming Federation]] circuit for both men and women in 1991.  Shelley swam [[Traversee International du Lac Memphremagog]] (25 miles between Newport, Vermont and [[Magog]], [[Quebec]]) for many years in the hey-day of this storied professional swim in the 1980’s and 1990’s, repeatedly winning among the females, taking down many male competitors in the process and winning the swim outright one year.  She holds the female record of 8 hours 37 minutes.  She was an iconic presence on [[Lake Memphremagog]] with her wonderful, fiery competitive spirit.  You simply cannot talk about the history of this iconic professional swim without talking about Shelley Taylor-Smith and her presence on this lake.  She also has a ferry boat named after her in Western Australia.

==Class of 2019 Honorees==

*[[Jennifer Dutton]], 49 of Boston, Massachusetts is a [[marathon swimmer]] who has been [[marathon swimming]] since she was a teenager. With a 30-year career, she is both a veteran and trail blazer in the sport. She did her first 8-mile swim across [[Lake Champlain]] in New York while she was still in high school and shows no signs of slowing down.  Dutton is a long-time participant in the annual [[NEOWSA]] Kingdom 10-mile Swim. In 2012, she completed [[In Search of Memphre]] swimming the 25-mile length of [[Lake Memphremagog]] in just over 15 hours.  Since then, Dutton has completed several 25 km [[Border Buster]] swims in [[Lake Memphremagog]], Vermont and has been a fixture on the long distance open water scene in New England and beyond, completing several impressive swims in excess of 30 miles, including an unprecedented 34-mile ABC swim of Lake Keuka in upstate New York.  Dutton has completed spectacular swims: first across Torch Lake in Michigan, a gutsy crossing of [[Lake Tahoe]], solo [[Lake George]], a 30-plus-mile Cayuga swim and many others. She does it for herself, not for accolades and with a quiet authority.  Dutton also has a deeply personal connection to Vermont.  She has family living near St. Johnsbury, and she makes regular visits to the state to swim and visit. Dutton also leads as one of the best high school swimming coaches in New England and as a masterful masters swimming coach freely and quietly sharing her love and devotion to the water with many other people helping dozens of other swimmers achieve great things in Vermont waters and beyond.

*[[Kingdom Shore Crew]] including 40-year-old [[Kristian Pearson]] of Newport, Vermont, 69-year-old [[Peter Channell]] and 65-year-old [[Geneve Channell]] of Stanstead, [[Quebec]], Canada together have been the muscle, the wheels, and the organization behind all of [[NEKOWSA]]’s swims from the very first [[Kingdom Swim]] in 2009. They have been contributing to these swims as they have grown from 1 day to over 15 days, from 1 lake to 8 lakes, from 1, 3, and 10 miles to 25 miles and everything in between, and from 100 swimmers that first year to several hundred each year.  Whatever needs to be done to make these swims happen, they have been doing it for over a decade. Timing, recording and reporting times, registration, waiver and release, t-shirt pick-up and distributions, set up, lunch, piloting and crewing night and day on Lake Memphremagog, standing watch overnight at Georgeville, greeting and monitoring swimmers at the finish, setting buoys, Lacing the Woodals, grabbing the pizza, steaming the corn, trailering and launching boats, escort boat setups in Magog, burger delivery in Georgeville, jerky pick-up at Brault’s, maple syrup pick-up at Couture’s, whatever has needed to be done, they have done it with grace and smiles and steady determination and attention to 'git er dun.'  These dedicated, hard-working and caring contributors are the first to arrive, the last to leave and carry the warmest smiles open water swimmers and kayakers could hope to see.  Ten years. 80 swim events cumulatively totaling 752.8 miles. They’ve been at the core of it all. True unsung heroes.
