Biography

Debbie Meyer suffered from asthma in childhood, grew up near Sacramento, California. She trained under the U.S. Olympic coach Sherman Chavoor, who required his freestyle swimmers to swim long distances to condition themselves for shorter races. At the 1967 Pan-American Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, she set world records in the 400-and 800-meter freestyle races. During the trials for the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games, she set world freestyle records in the 200-, 400-, and 800-meter races.

Though afflicted with a severe stomach infection, the 16-year-old Meyer swam at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, refusing medicine that might have disqualified her from competing. She won the 400-and 200-meter freestyle races and, fully recovered, easily won the 800-meter freestyle. From July 9, 1967, to August 17, 1969, she set 15 world records, including 5 in the 800-meter freestyle and 4 in the 1,500-meter freestyle. Her final world record, the fifth she achieved in the 400-meter freestyle, came in 1970. Meyer received the James E. Sullivan award as the outstanding American amateur athlete of 1968. She continued to train in anticipation of competing in the 1972 Munich Games but opted to retire in January 1972 at the age of 19. In 1977 Meyer was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame, and in 1986 she was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame.
