Reginald “Reg” Chappell

Swimming, Aurora, Ontario

In 1993, Reg Chappell founded the Aurora Swim Club, which was later renamed Ducks was Swimming. Reg explains the reasons behind the change in name and branding:

“The Mighty Ducks logo was drawn by a young artist and shortly afterwards we were told by a Disney Employee that we couldn’t use “Mighty Ducks.” I then decided on the Aurora Swim Club logo and later we landed on Ducks Swimming.”
