Robert Edward Townsend, Jr. (born September 13, 1943) is an American former competition swimmer, Pan American Games gold medalist, and former world record-holder. Townsend won a gold medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay at the 1963 Pan American Games. He participated in the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where he swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay.〔Sports-Reference.com, Olympic Sports, Athletes, ( Ed Townsend ). Retrieved September 25, 2012.〕 Under the 1964 Olympic swimming rules, he was ineligible for a medal, however, because he did not swim in the relay final. Townsend attended Yale University, where he was a standout swimmer for coach Phil Moriarty's Yale Bulldogs swimming and diving team from 1963 to 1965. He won an NCAA national championship in the 400-yard individual medley (1963), and three more as a member of winning Yale teams in the 400-yard freestyle relay (1963, 1964, 1965).〔IvyLeagueSports.com, History of the Ivy league, ( NCAA Championships (1957–Present) ).
