Edward Arnold "Ted" Stickles (born April 7, 1942) is an American former competition swimmer and former world record-holder. He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1995 and into the Indiana University Hall of Fame in 1998.

Swimming career

Stickles swam with James Counsilman's Indiana University team from 1962 to 1965. At one point during his career, he and his roommate, Chet Jastremski, held a total of seven world records. He broke a total of nine world records in the individual medley in the early 1960s.

Coaching career

Stickles was the head swimming coach for the Illinois Fighting Illini swimming team at the University of Illinois. He was also head coach of the LSU Tigers (1973–1980) and LSU Lady Tigers (1980) swimming and diving teams at Louisiana State University.
