Henry Hay

Henry Hay

Henry ("Harry") Hay (born c. 1890/1900, date of death unknown) was an Australian freestyle swimmer of the 1920s, who won a silver medal in the 4x200m freestyle relay at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp. He later enjoyed success as a swimming coach, guiding Boy Charlton to Olympic gold.

Coming from the Manly Swimming Club based at Sid Eve's Baths, Hay combined with Frank Beaurepaire, William Herald and Ivan Stedman to claim the silver medal in the 4x200m freestyle relay. The United States, lead by Duke Kahanamoku, routed the Australians by 21 seconds. Hay only onced managed to win an Australian Championship, the 110yd title in 1922.

Hay later became a professional coach in Sydney, and was seconded by Australian team managers at the Summer Olympics from 1924 to 1948. As it was deemed to be against the spirit of the Games to include coaches, Hay was officially given the title of team masseur. Les Duff, the manager of the 1928 Summer Olympics team, paid Hay A$10 a week to train Charlton and backstroker Tom Boast.
