Biography
Lewis Moist, known by many as “Loo”, won the Midlands quarter- and half-mile freestyle titles in both 1906 and 1907 and when he won the Warwickshire county one mile title in 1913 his record of 27:35.4 stood for 18 years. However, it was as a breaststroke swimmer that Moist became better known and between 1912-19 was the Midland 200 yards champion every year. A member of the Westminster Club up the time of his death, he won the club mile championship ever year from 1906-14.
