One of the most prolific scorers in University of Delaware men's lacrosse history, Swan earned national recognition as a high-scoring attackman during the first four years of the program's existence in 1948-51. A 1952 graduate of Delaware, Swan was a two-time United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association second team All-American in 1950-51, the highest award earned by a UD men's lacrosse player until the 1990's. He led the nation in scoring in 1951 when he scored 65 goals and still holds UD records for goals in a game (14) and season (65). Both marks stood as national records when he graduated. The 1951 team captain, Swan played in the 1951 North-South Senior All-Star Game. His 127 career goals stood as the UD record until 1964. A native of Swarthmore, PA, he died in 1991 at the age of 63 in Montana after a career in business.
