Jay Thomas Anderson

Jay Thomas Anderson, was born September 4, 1956 in Indianapolis to Billie Lucille (McClure) and Rodney Cubberley Anderson who in addition to his older brother, Rodney William Anderson, all preceded him in death. Jay leaves behind three children - Hali, Nolan, Emma Anderson, and a sister Connie (Slater) as well as a niece and two nephews. His wonderful humor, love of his family, children, youth, swimming, baseball, beaches, and travel will be greatly missed.

Jay grew up with his family a few doors down from the Butler University campus and attended IPS #86 during his elementary years. He joined the Riviera Swim Team when he was 8 years old spending all of his free time and summers growing up at the club. He swam for Brebeuf High School and later as a scholarship athlete for Denison University. After graduating from Indiana University, he started his swim coaching career at the Riviera Swim Club as an Assistant then Head Coach for many years. Jay taught and coached swimming throughout his adult life, finishing his career as the Lebanon Swim Club and High School Swimming coach.
