Chester Andrew "Chet: Jastremski was an American competition swimmer, Olympic medalist and world record-holder. Jastremski attended Indiana University, where he swam for Doc Counsilman's Indiana Hoosiers swimming and diving team. He and Counsilman invented the "whip kick" to replace the frog kick, previously used in the breaststroke. The whip kick minimized drag and accentuated Jastremski's very powerful shoulders and upper arms. Over the years, the original whip kick morphed into the breaststroke kick that uses the entire leg. He was featured on the January 29, 1962 cover of Sports Illustrated. Jastremski won the bronze medal in the men's 200-meter breaststroke at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1977 and into the National Polish American Sports Hall of Fame in 2007. Jastremski received his medical degree from Indiana University in 1968. He was a member of the 1976 U.S. Olympic medical team. He served as a family practice physician for 35 years before rheumatoid arthritis led him to retire.
