Kim Ga-Eul (Korean: 김 가을; born January 17, 1997 in Pohang) is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in long-distance freestyle events.[1][2] She is a finalist in the 800 m freestyle at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou.
Kim qualified for the women's 400 m freestyle, as South Korea's youngest swimmer (aged 15), at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, by eclipsing a FINA B-standard entry time of 4:15.01 from the Dong-A Swimming Tournament in Ulsan.[3] She challenged seven other swimmers on the second heat, including three-time Olympian Kristel Köbrich of Chile. Kim finished the race in last place by nearly 25 seconds behind Singapore's Lynette Lim, posting the second-slowest time of 4:43.46. Kim failed to advance into the final, as she placed thirty-fourth overall in the preliminary heats.[4]
