Debbie Meyer was a former American swim champion in the Olympics. She was a former record holder at three distances: the 200, 400, and 800 meter events, in the 1968 summer olympics in Mexico City. She was the only American woman swimmer to hold three world records for Swimming. Throughout her swim career she broke twenty different records which would propel her to be inducted in the United States Olympic Hall of Fame in 1986. Meyer also won nineteen championships in the Ameture Athletic Union, and in 1968 she won the “James E. Sullivan award” which is awarded every year to the most outstanding amateur athlete. Meyer retired after her season in 1970 at just eighteen years old. Today Meyer is married to Bill Weber, owns and operates the Debbie Meyer Swim Schools in Sacramento California which opened in 1993, and she is also a motivational speaker to young kids around the country.
