Olympians
For a small club located 2,500 miles from the nearest land mass, the Outrigger Canoe Club has produced more elite athletes than would be expected. Club athletes have excelled in local, state, national and international competitions. The best of these athletes have gone on to represent the Club, Hawaii and the USA in the Olympic Games.
They have earned medals in both water and land sports including swimming, diving, water polo, canoe and kayak, and sailing, as well as volleyball and beach volleyball, weight lifting, foil, and shooting.
Others have coached U.S. Olympic teams.
Outrigger members have earned 37 Olympic medals (18 Gold, 13 Silver and 6 Bronze), more medals than many countries. The medals earned by these athletes is a testament to the talent and hard-work of these men and women, and the coaches who trained and believed in them. Outrigger is proud of these fine competitors many of whom still call the Outrigger Canoe Club home.

Happy Birthday ANDREW “BOY” CHARLTON
ANDREW M. “BOY” CHARLTON (AUS)
1972 Honor Swimmer
FOR THE RECORD: OLYMPIC GAMES: 1924 gold (1500m freestyle), silver (800m freestyle relay), bronze (400m freestyle); 1928 silver (400m, 1500m freestyle); 1932 (participant); WORLD RECORDS: 5
“Me Tarzan, you Boy”, said Johnny Weissmuller in introducing his old Olympic swim rival, Australian Andrew Charlton, in ceremonies at the International Swimming Hall of Fame. “Boy” Charlton, and Johnny swam together in two Olympics, 1924 and 1928. Charlton, at 16, was literally the boy of the 1924 games and a Gold Medal Boy at that!
Boy Charlton held 5 world records, the greatest of which had to be his Paris Olympic victory over the Swedish great Arne Borg, a shock to all Europe, not to mention Borg himself, who signed his picture taken with King Gustav, “From Arne Borg, the King of Swimmers.” The 16 year-old Charlton took 34.8 seconds off Borg’s world record for the distance.
If Charlton’s 1924 Olympic gold medal ended the 1st long Australian era of swim dominance, it certainly did not end a Charlton era as he went on to win 5 medals and make the finals in 3 Olympics through 1932.
