Born in Freidorf, Austro-Hungary on June 2, 1904 (he often claimed to have been born in Windber, Pennsylvania), Johnny Weissmuller
emigrated with his parents to the U.S. as an infant. The family eventually wound up in Pennsylvania, where his father Peter Weissmuller
worked as coal miner, but the family moved again to Chicago. A sickly youth, Johnny Weissmuller took up swimming in Lake Michigan
to build strength. By the time he entered the University of Chicago in 1922, the 6'3" young man had become an excellent swimmer,
ultimately leading him to the Olympic Games in 1924 and 1928. He won five gold medals and set numerous world records.
