Eleanor Garatti

Eleanor Garatti (1909 to 1998), later known as Eleanor Saville, was an American sprint freestyle swimmer from San Rafael, California. She swam at the 1928 Amsterdam and 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, winning gold in the 4x100 metre freestyle relay both times with a world record, silver in the 1928 100 metre freestyle and bronze in the same event in 1932, which made her the first woman to win two Olympic medals in it. Between 1925 and 1929 she won four American national sprint championships and in 1929 became the first woman to swim 100 metres in under 1:10. She was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1992 and the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.
