In 1992, Anita Nall set the swimming world on fire with two World and American Records in 200 Breaststroke at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. Placing first in both breaststroke events qualified Anita to represent the United States at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. Anita brought home a gold, silver and a bronze medal from the Olympics. She added an American Record in the 100 Breaststroke and swam on the U.S.A. 400 Medley Relay team that set both World and American records. Former NBAC swimmer Jill Johnson (USA) placed in the B Final in 200 Breaststroke.
