Swimming legend dies.(Newsroom)(Obituary)
James "Doc" Counsilman accomplished a lot in his life, including swimming the English Channel. But what mattered most to Counsilman, 83, who passed away Jan. 4 from complications due to Parkinson's disease, were his contributions to the science of swimming.
Counsilman single-handedly revised long held swimming training methods and stroke techniques. He reportedly invented the pace clock, pool-lane markers, pool overflow gutters, interval training and the biokinetic bench.
But he said his greatest contribution was the application of Bernoulli's principle, which proposes that the higher the speed of a flowing fluid, the lower the pressure and vice versa. That theory formed the basis of Counsilman's 1968 book, The Science of Swimming, reprinted in more than 20 languages.
