Gus Sundstrom (October 28, 1858-September 9, 1936) was the first swim instructor and swim coach at Manhattan's New York Athletic Club (NYAC), and served for fifty years, from 1885-1935, mentoring several world record holders and Olympians. He was equally adept coaching water polo at NYAC, and led his teams to national titles, and a 1904 St. Louis Olympic Gold medal. An accomplished long-distance swimmer who helped develop and pass-on the modern front crawl to his students, he was considered by swimming historians to be "the first great American coach of the modern era".
