Nancy Ellen Garapick (born September 24, 1961) is a former Canadian competition swimmer, Olympic medalist, and former world record-holder. She won two bronze medals in the 100-metre backstroke and 200-metre backstroke at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal at the age of 14, behind two East German athletes. She set a new Olympic record for the 100-metre backstroke during heats.
Garapick's Olympic performances came on the heels of her world record performance on April 27, 1975 at the Eastern Canadian Swimming Championships in Brantford, Ontario, while a member of the Halifax Trojan Aquatic Club and coached by Nigel Kemp.[1] It was there that she set a new World Record in the 200m backstroke with a time of 2:16:33 at the age of 13.
In 2008, she was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.[2] The official ceremony took place November 5, 2008, in Toronto, Ontario.[3]
