Career
He also competed in the 100-metre and 400-metre freestyle events. Herald combined with Frank Beaurepaire, Henry Hay and Ivan Stedman to claim the silver medal in the 4×200-metre freestyle relay. Due to the financial difficulties following the First World War, the swimming events were held in an open canal, without lane markings.
Herald reached the final of the 100-metre freestyle, coming fifth, but claimed that fourth-placed American Norman Ross had fouled him during the race.
Herald fared worse in the 400-metre, failing to qualify for the final.
