A backstroke specialist, he took first in two conference and one national 150-yard races. He also swam the backstroke leg on two NCAA and one Big Ten championship 300-yard medley relay teams. During Heydt's years, his teams captured swimming championships in both the Big Ten Conference and the NCAA in 1940 and 1941.
