At Antwerp 1920, Bill Herald finished fourth in the 100 metres freestyle, behind Duke Kahanamoku, Pua Kealoha and William Harris, who all came from Hawaii. In the 4 x 200 metres relay, he joined with Frank Beaurepaire, Harry Hay, and Ivan Stedman to claim the silver medal behind the ever-powerful Americans. The youngster of the swimming team, Keith Kirkland, swam in the heat of the relay but was replaced by Beaurepaire for the final.
