Biography
Daniel Hayward Veatch (born April 18, 1965) is an American former competition swimmer who represented the United States at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Veatch competed in his signature event, the men's 200-meter backstroke, finishing seventh in the event final. He won the 200-meter backstroke at the Pan Pacific Games in Brisbane in 1987 and again in Tokyo in 1989. He pulled his hamstring just before the U.S. Trials for the 1992 Summer Olympics and so missed those Games.
He is openly gay, and currently lives in San Francisco.
