Swarthmore College Athletics

A six-time Centennial Conference champion and six-time All American, Skye Fulkerson Tarr '96 is one of the most accomplished swimmers in the history of the College swimming program. Tarr excelled in the breaststroke, capturing All-America honors in the 100 and 200 breaststroke in 1995 and then four times (100 breaststroke, 200-medley relay, 400-medley relay and 200-free relay) in 1996. Each of her conference wins were also league records, and her six All-America honors established a program record that stood for 14 years. Her 100 breaststroke time of 1:06.29 remains a school record and her swims in four other events – two 200-medley relays, a 400-medley relay and the 200 breaststroke (2:27.71) – still rank among the program’s best. Tarr is married to former Swarthmore men’s basketball player Chad Tarr ’95. They live in Louisville with their two children, Rivers and Sawyer.
