Edmund Swanberg elected APTA President (1967-1969)

Swanberg enjoyed many years as an active player and enthusiast of the game. He fondly recalled the well-attended annual meetings of the APTA at the Princeton Club in New York City and, at one of these meetings during his tenure, he reported that it appeared that the game was growing at a rate of 20-25% annually, based on metrics of court construction and APTA membership rolls.

Swanberg was instrumental in getting ranking players to put on exhibitions at clubs where new courts had been built.
