Daniel Hayward Veatch (born April 18, 1965) is an American former competition swimmer who represented the United States at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.[1] Veatch competed in his signature event, the men's 200-meter backstroke, finishing seventh in the event final.[2] He won the 200-meter backstroke at the Pan Pacific Games in Brisbane in 1987[3] and again in Tokyo in 1989.[4] He pulled his hamstring just before the U.S. Trials for the 1992 Summer Olympics and so missed those Games.[5]
He is openly gay,[6] and lives in San Francisco. Veatch was the first masters swimmer to reach 6000 yards in one hour.[7]
