July 6

Annette Marie Sarah Kellermann was born on the 6th in 1887. She was a professional swimmer from Sydney, Australia. Apparently, she took her profession quite seriously. Many credit her with the introduction of synchronized swimming. In 1907, she performed the first water ballet at the New York Hippodrome Theater, located at 43rd Street and the Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) in New York City.
