Description

Swimsuit- worn by Jamie Reid while swimming for the Puyallup Aquatic Club. Suit is a blue Speedo with PAC on front. Jamie Reid started swimming competitively at age 7 and credits 11 years with the Puyallup Aquatic Club for her exceptional success in collegiate, national and international competition. "Whenever I am asked about my swimming career, I love mentioning where I grew up learning to love the sport," said Reid, who resides in Orlando, FL. "I truly believe I was able to be so successful because of the support of my coach, Rick Benner, and so many wonderful teammates." That post-PAC success began as a member of the University of Florida swimming and diving team from 2002-2007. She was a three-time national champion in the 200m backstroke and gold medalist at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. As a member of the 400m medley relay team, she was a gold medalist at the Short Course World Championships in Athens, Greece. Also during 2003, she established an SEC record time of 1:54.54 in the 200m backstroke in competition at Auburn University. She also broke UF's 200m backstroke record with a 1:54.86 time in her home pool. Other highlights: Member of 1998 Goodwill Games gold medal team at New York City; 2000 and 2004 Olympic Trials competition; and 5th place at NCAA championships. Reid is proud of being named an SEC Academic All-American.
