Nina Adams Harmer (born December 11, 1945) is an American former competition swimmer.
Harmer was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and trained with the Vesper Boat Club in Philadelphia.[1] As a 14-year-old, she represented the United States at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy.[1] She competed in the women's 100-meter backstroke, but did not advance beyond the preliminary heats.[1]
At the 1963 Pan American Games in Sao Paolo, Brazil, she won the gold medal in the women's 100-meter backstroke.[2][3]
Four years later at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, Harmer swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the women's 4x100-meter medley relay.[4] She did not receive a medal under the 1964 international swimming rules because she did not swim in the relay event final. Individually, she also competed in the women's 100-meter backstroke, finishing fifth in the event final with a time of 1:09.4, behind American teammates Cathy Ferguson (first) and Ginny Duenkel (third).[1][5]
