[1] Herald combined with Frank Beaurepaire, Henry Hay and Ivan Stedman to claim the silver medal in the 4×200-metre freestyle relay.

The United States team, led by Duke Kahanamoku, won the gold, routing the Australians by 21 seconds.

Due to the financial difficulties following the First World War, the swimming events were held in an open canal, without lane markings.

Herald reached the final of the 100-metre freestyle, coming fifth, but claimed that fourth-placed American Norman Ross had fouled him during the race.
