BOB CLOTWORTHY – NATURAL CAUSES

American Olympian Bob Clotworthy was one of the best diver-swimmers back in the ’50s. He also became a well-respected coach from the mid-’50s until his retirement in 2006. His peers gave him a lot of credit for his contribution and achievement as a professional athlete, and he was later inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame class of 1980. As a young man, Bob Clotworthy devoted his teenage years to training for the Olympics.

During high school, the athlete spent every waking hour of his day honing and perfecting every stroke and dive in the swimming pool. By the time the 1950s rolled in, Bob was more than ready to compete in the Olympics. He lived a pretty healthy life after his retirement, and he’ll be forever remembered as one of the greatest American athletes of all time. He died peacefully at his home in Salt Lake City, Utah, last June 1, 2018.
