Walter Bathe (1 December 1892 – 18 September 1959) was a German breaststroke swimmer.[1] He won gold medals in the 200 m and 400 m breaststroke at the 1912 Summer Olympics,[2] setting Olympic records that lasted until 1924.[3] In 1970 he was inducted to the International Swimming Hall of Fame.[4]
Bathe took swimming aged 8 to improve poor health and at 19 won two Olympic medals. He continued swimming until about 1930, winning 6 national breaststroke championships, 5 Crownprince Trophies, and 3 River Oder swims (7.5 km). In 1910 he set two world records in the 100 m breaststroke, at 1:18.4 and 1:17.5.[4]
