Vita

Tammy Crow, the daughter of Caroline Crow, studies politics, communication and sociology at the University of California at Berkeley and earns her living partly as a trainer and at the water rescue service. This is how she trains the 12 to 13 year olds of the Santa Clara team.

Tammy Crow belonged to different clubs: 1984-88 Clayton Shaw Park Synchro, 1989-2001 Walnut Creek Aquanuts, 1998-99 UC-Berkeley Synchronists, since 2002 Santa Clara Aquamaids.

Tammy Crow got into the media after she caused a serious traffic accident on January 17, 2003 near San Francisco. Due to excessive speed, her jeep skidded in a curve on the way to the Dodge Ridge ski resort. Crow's friend Cody Tatro (a PE teacher) and his student, 12-year-old Brett Slinger, died at the scene of the accident. Crow suffered a four-fold fracture of his right arm, only woke up in the emergency helicopter that took her to the hospital, and went into severe shock when she heard of the death of her passengers. The court sentenced Crow to pay approximately $ 23,000 in compensation to Slinger's parents, and to serve a 3-month prison term after returning from the Athens Olympics.
