Carolyn Lynne Steinseifer (born February 12, 1968), later known by her married name Carolyn Bates , is an American former competition swimmer and Olympic champion. She won gold medals in the women's 100-meter freestyle , 4×100-meter freestyle relay and 4x100-meter medley relay at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.[ 1]
As a 15-year-old at the 1983 Pan American Games in Caracas, Venezuela, she won gold medals in the 4×100-meter freestyle and 4×100-meter medley relays. As a 17-year-old, she won gold medals in the 200-meter freestyle, 4×100-meter freestyle relay and the 4×200-meter relay, and a silver in the 100-meter freestyle at the 1985 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Tokyo, Japan.
Steinseifer attended the University of Texas , where she swam for coach Richard Quick 's Texas Longhorns swimming and diving team in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition. During her college career, she was a member of three of the Lady Longhorns' NCAA national championship relay teams—once in the 800-yard relay (1987) and twice in the 200-yard relay (1987, 1988). She was also a key points contributor to the Longhorns' NCAA national team championships in 1987 and 1988.
While attending Texas, she continued to represent the United States in international competition. She won a gold medal in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay at 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis, Indiana, and another gold as a member of the winning U.S. team in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay at the 1989 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Tokyo.
Steinseifer was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an "Honor Swimmer" in 1999.[ 2]
She lives outside Portland, Oregon, with her two daughters, Gaby and Miya, and her husband, Ken Blanco.[ 1]
