His name is Warren Daniels Kealoha and his bother was not Pua Kealoha. He won the backstoke by being the first swimmer to alternate his arm rotations instead of rotating both arms together as elementary backstroke was done. This gave him a huge time advantage. He is in the Swimming Hall of Fame. This was written by his great-granddaughter.
