Kenneth Monfore Nitzkowski (born September 7, 1929) is an American former competition swimmer and water polo coach. He represented the United States in the 200-meter butterfly at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, where he finished with the eleventh-best time overall.[1] Nitzkowski acted as the U.S. water polo assistant coach at the 1968 Olympics and was appointed head coach for the 1972, 1980 and 1984 games.[2]
After transferring from Fullerton Junior College, he swam and played water polo for the UCLA Bruins in 1950 and 1951.
