Early life
editWeihmüller was born and lived his first years in San Carlos Centro, Argentina. He was born in 1902 (according to his family on the 5 August). He was the son of Swiss immigrants. As a child everyone called him "Sity".[citation needed]
The 1928 Olympics
editPrior to the 1928 Olympics, Luis F. Weihmüller was summoned to join the Argentinian squad that had a number of players who would star two years later in the 1930 World Cup played in Uruguay. The strange thing was that, in those years, managers were not allowed in the rules to replace a player with another. Anyway, as a member of that squad, Weihmüller won a silver medal. In the Argentine squad, there were five other players from Sportivo Palermo, which was Weihmüller's current team: Fernando Paternoster, Adolfo Zumelzu, Ludovico Bidoglio, Herman, and Juan Evaristo.
