On this day in 1925, future Tarzan actor, Johnny Weissmuller sets the world record for the 150-yard freestyle swim. Already a gold medallist from the 1924 Olympics, Weissmuller competed again in 1928, taking five gold medals in all. In 1931, MGM cast Weissmuller to play the title role in Tarzan the Ape Man (1932). He continued playing Tarzan in films through the late 1940s. The film series moved to television in 1966. Though Weissmuller didn’t star in the TV shows, he did contribute the famous Tarzan yell that was used on the program.
