What you should know about Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre Swim School
She had to wear dense leg braces until the age of seven. Her legs responded and were to become one of her highest physical assets. In her mid teens the family moved to Melbourne. In 1902 Annette and her father went to England. Annette was the first woman to attempt to swim the English Channel. In an era of restrictive corsets and long heavy dresses Annette paraded around in a one portion swim suit made by stitching black stockings into a boy's costume. Annette was arrested on a Boston beach for wearing her one segment costume. It sounded the death knell for Victorian attitudes towards women's swimwear. From then on Annette marketed herself as The Perfect Woman. It was only a matter of time before Hollywood came calling. Williams was never safe if Annette approved of her casting. Annette was a mighty support of swimming for physical health, fitness and beauty. She traveled widely especially in America and Germany lecturing on health and fitness. She was a teetotaler and a lifelong vegetarian. Annette married a former manager, James Sullivan. Annette continued to swim daily and, in correct vaudeville style, could still do a tall kick. Annette Keller man was a larger than life figure, who made women's swimming popular and socially acceptable. Annette regarded her emancipation of women from the restrictive neck to knee costume as one of her greatest achievements.
