| Description |
English: After taking up swimming on the advice of a doctor due to his being a sickly child, Johnny Weissmuller became a champion swimmer winning five Olympic Gold medals, 67 world titles, and 52 national titles in the 1920s. However, it's for his acting as the first and best-known Tarzan in the cinema, and for his creation of the famous Tarzan yell, that he is most famous. Starring in numerous loved Tarzan films made throughout the 1930s and '40s, Weissmuller was also known for publicized escapades with some of his five wives as well civic activities such as training Navy recruits in specialized swimming techniques. This photo was likely taken during a visit to Seattle in Weissmuller's Olympic swimming days in the mid-to-late 1920s. Handwritten on image: Weismuller [sic] John.
