Acerca del autor


A world-record holder in 13 events, Dr. Penny Lee Dean is truly a swimming legend. She has been open water swimming competitively for 30 years, has coached swimming for 22 years, and served 10 years as U.S. National Coach for Open Water Swimming.

Inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1996, Dean's list of achievements ranks with the world's best. In 1993, she was named Distinguished Coach by the College Swimming Coaches Association.

In 1978, Dean set the world record for crossing the English Channel, perhaps the sport's most famous event. Her record time of 7 hours, 40 minutes held up for 17 years. Even when her record was broken it was a testament to Dean, as the new record was set by a swimmer she had trained. Dean's time still stands as the fastest by a woman.

In addition, Dean's world-record mark for crossing the Catalina Channel-22 minutes faster than the fastest male swimmer on record-still stands after more than 20 years.

Dean, who holds a doctorate in education, is the women's swimming and water polo coach at the Pomona Pitzer Colleges in California. She has coached swimming at Pomona Pitzer for the past 19 years.
