Daniel Linton Watters (born March 18, 1971) is an American former competition swimmer who participated in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Watters competed in the B Final of the men's 100-meter breaststroke, and finished with the fifteenth-best time overall. He would swim for University of Texas, and after obtaining an MBA from the University of San Francisco, would later work in management for a variety of businesses.[1][2]
He swam for Florida's Greater Pensacola swim club under Hall of Fame Coach Steve Bultman, along with fellow 1988 Olympians Beth Barr, and Andrea Hayes. Bultman would later serve as an outstanding coach for Texas A&M University.[3][4]
As an accomplished breaststroker at the University of Texas, he helped capture two NCAA titles and in his senior year, captained the team. After graduating in 1993, he attended the University of San Francisco, where he received an MBA.[2]
He pursued employment in business fields, working in information technology (IT) for a number of companies. He started with KPMG, but was then with Capgemini in Dallas, AT Kearney as a senior manager in IT, and Amdocs in business development and sales. In the 2010s, he worked for Oberthur Technologies. He served as a director of Swim Across America, a nation-wide charitable organization that funds cancer research, largely through the efforts of individuals and teams that gain sponsors to perform an organized swim.[2]
