Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 6 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 1904 and 1908. Only Summer Games gold medals count here. Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack. The medal list is a public award record for Charles Daniels (Q532827), not a reading of character. 1904 1904 Summer Olympics: gold in 1904 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1904: gold in swimming at the 1904 Summer Olympics – men's 220 yard freestyle in competitive swimming. 1904: gold in swimming at the 1904 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 50 yard freestyle relay in competitive swimming. 1904: gold in swimming at the 1904 Summer Olympics – men's 440 yard freestyle in competitive swimming. 1908 1908 Summer Olympics: gold in 1908 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1908: gold in swimming at the 1908 Summer Olympics – men's 100 metre freestyle in competitive swimming.

The Queen of Clubs coordinate

Charles Daniels was born March 24 (1885-03-24). Month 3 and day 24 give solar value 25, which is the Queen of Clubs (The Nurturing Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1885 is unused. The Queen of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Charles Daniels for United States. Quoted system copy for the Queen of Clubs, not a biography of Charles Daniels: You teach from what you actually know, without making people earn the right to hear it. You have wisdom, understanding, and the natural ability to mentor. You create intellectual safety where people can grow. You're the wise guide.

Charles Daniels in the public record

Daniels was an innovator of the front crawl swimming style, helping to develop the "American crawl". Daniels was born in Dayton, Ohio on March 24, 1885. He attended Dwight Prep school in New York City where he was captain of the school's basketball team, did the high jump, and ran the mile and half mile with the track team. Familiar with strong swimming, Charles's father Thomas often swam a half mile out to sea when the family vacationed in Long Island. Daniels began his swimming career around the age of 18 with the New York Athletic Club (NYAC) in 1903, where he was mentored by Hall of Fame Coach Gus Sundstrom. At NYAC, Daniels was also a squash and bridge champion. Swimmers of his era had been swimming the trudgen stroke that featured both arms fully extended in front of the body while stroking in turn, but used a breastroke style kick with each stroke cycle. He transitioned from the trudgen stroke to the modern, universally accepted front crawl, also known as the Australian crawl, which used a more efficient and faster flutter kick and made it easier to rotate slightly to breathe and gain more power during arm strokes.
