Show Notes
Fred Haywood was born on the island of Maui a decade before it became a state. The son of a sugar plantation doctor, he grew up playing with the neighbor kids, who were Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, and white. He and his four siblings played in the waters off Kahului Harbor on their balsa wood surfboards and El Toro sailboats.
When Fred was seventeen, he left home to join George Haines’s world-famous Santa Clara swim team. In 1967, he and Mark Spitz were the first high school students to win the National Championships in Dallas, Texas, and Fred became the fastest backstroker in America.
Fred continued his winning ways in the sport of Windsurfing as he broke the world speed record in Weymouth, England.
In Fred's later years he became one of
the most successful realtors on the island of Maui.
Today, Fred Haywood is sharing his life's story in his book, Racing with Aloha!
