Andrea Jean Hayes (born January 12, 1969), later known by her married name Andrea Dickson, is an American former competition swimmer who swam for the University of Texas, and represented the United States at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. At the 1988 Olympics, she finished sixth in the final of the women's 200-meter backstroke event, with a time of 2:15.02.
Hayes swam for the Greater Pensacola Aquatic Club under Hall of Fame Coach Steve Bultman along with fellow 1988 swimming Olympians Beth Barr and Daniel Watters.[1][2]
At the University of Texas she helped capture three NCAA team titles, and was an All-American swimmer 16 times.
She is best known for winning a gold medal in the 200-meter backstroke at the inaugural 1985 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Tokyo, Japan.[3]
She later became the co-chair of Swim Across America Dallas, a partner of Swim Across America, a charitable fundraising organization for cancer that largely raises funds through the efforts of individuals and teams that gain sponsorship through organized swims. In 2016 Hayes was inducted into the Longhorn Women’s Hall of Honor.[3]
