Elizabeth Mary Coster (born 11 December 1982) is a New Zealand former swimmer, who specializes in backstroke and butterfly events.[1] She helped out the New Zealand team to pull off a fourth-place effort and broke a New Zealand record of 4:06.30 in the medley relay at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia.[2]

Coster made her first New Zealand team at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she competed in the 100 m butterfly. Swimming in heat two, she edged out Singapore's Joscelin Yeo to take a third spot by two tenths of a second (0.20), but shared a twenty-third place tie with Sweden's Johanna Sjöberg in 1:00.61.[3][4] Coster also teamed up with Hannah McLean, Alison Fitch, and Annabelle Carey in the 4 × 100 m medley relay. She swam a butterfly leg in heat one with a split of 1:00.38, but the New Zealand team settled for sixth place and thirteenth overall in a final time of 4:10.37.[5][6]

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Coster shortened her program, swimming only in the 100 m backstroke. She cleared a FINA A-standard entry time of 1:00.93 from the Olympic trials in Auckland.[7][8] She posted a time of 1:00.66 to take a fifteenth seed in the top 16 places from the evening's preliminary heats.[9][10] Followed by the next morning's session, Coster fell short in her bid for the final, as she finished her semifinal run with a slowest time of 1:01.45.[11][12]
