Karlyn Pipes Biography

Karlyn Pipes is one of the most popular and richest Swimmer who was born on March 18, 1962 in Lompoc, California, United States.

Karlyn Pipes (born March 18, 1962), formerly Karlyn Pipes-Neilsen, is an American swimmer from Lompoc, California. In Masters-level swimming she is one of the most decorated athletes in the history of the sport and was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 2015.

By the age of 19, her party lifestyle, “poor work ethic” and “lack of discipline” caused her to forfeit her scholarship at Arkansas after three semesters. Pipes describes the next chapter of her life as the “lost years” when her addictive tendencies took over and her life began to spiral out of control. For the next 11 years Pipes dropped out of college numerous times, worked as a seasonal beach lifeguard, was a waitress and held other odd jobs such as a bartender at Hotel del Coronado. On April 16, 1993, at the age of 31, Pipes entered a ten-day alcohol and drug rehabilitation program at Sharp Cabrillo Hospital. Immediately upon her release, Pipes returned to the water to help her recover, heal and regain lost strength. Three months later, she stepped up on the blocks to race again and began competing in U.S. Masters Swimming competitions. After six months of sobriety, Pipes established a new FINA world record in the 200-meter backstroke. By the end of her first year of Masters competition, she ranked first in the U.S. in seven events and added three more world records to her cache. In 1995, she set a total of 16 FINA Masters world records for the 30–34 age group, competing against many former Olympians. By the time she was 35, she was ranked first in the United States in every distance and stroke in 54 official events in the 35-39 age group and came within a few tenths of a second to qualify for the 1996 US Olympic Trials in the 200-meter backstroke.
