Carolyn Jane Schuler (born January 5, 1943) is an American former competition swimmer, two-time Olympic champion, and former world record-holder.
She represented the United States as a 17-year-old at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, where she won two gold medals.[1] She received her first gold medal for winning the women's 100-meter butterfly, with a new Olympic record time of 1:09.5.[2] She earned a second gold medal as a member of the first-place U.S. team in the women's 4×100-meter medley relay, together with teammates Lynn Burke (backstroke), Patty Kempner (breaststroke), and Chris von Saltza (freestyle). The winning U.S medley relay set a new world record of 4:41.1 in the event final.[3]
