Freddie Tyler was born in Orlando, Florida and
raised in Winter Park, Florida with his three older
sisters and older brother. He is the son of E.Q. (Tim)
Tyler and Audrey Waterman Tyler. He graduated
high school from The Bolles School in Jacksonville,
Florida in 1972. He was an outstanding swimmer,
winning eight out of eight State Championships
between 1968 and 1972.
Freddie competed for the United States in the 1972
Olympic Games held in Munich, West Germany, where
he won a gold medal as a part of the 800-meter
freestyle relay. He was also a champion swimmer for
Indiana University where he graduated with a degree in
business in 1977. In 1980, Freddie began a thirty-fiveyear
teaching and coaching career at West Orange High
School in Winter Garden, Florida.
Freddie married his wife Renee in October of 1980,
and they have three children (Brian, Jennifer, and Bridget)
and three grandchildren (Ethan, Kyla, and Cohen).
While he claims his salvation came as a young man,
he acknowledges that it wasn't until December 26, 2005
that he allowed Jesus to take control of his life. At that
time, he began to realize there is more to salvation than
Heaven. It was time to live for Jesus here on earth.
