Melanie Dodd (born 10 May 1973) is an Australian former swimmer who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] She represented the host nation Australia, as a 27-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and also trained for the Australian Institute of Sport, under Russian-based swim coach Gennadi Touretski. She won two medals, a silver and bronze, in the 4×100-metre freestyle relay at the 1995 FINA Short Course World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, and 1999 FINA Short Course World Championships in Hong Kong.[2]
Dodd competed only in the women's 4×100-metre freestyle relay at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[3] On the first night of the Games, the Aussie team pulled off a sixth-place finish in the final with a time of 3:40.91.[4] Teaming with Sarah Ryan, Elka Graham and Giaan Rooney in heat two on the morning prelims, Dodd swam the third leg and recorded a split of 56.31 to post a fifth-seeded time of 3:43.56 for the home squad.[5][6][7]
