1 . Born in Balmain, New South Wales in 1937, Dawn Fraser is the youngest of eight children from a working-class family. In 1952, her great swimming ability was noticed by coach Harry Gallagher, who took over her training and set the 1956 Olympics as their goal.

In 1955 Dawn won her first Australian title in the 220 yards freestyle and. during that summer season, went on to rewrite the record books: setting new Australian records in all freestyle events up to 880 yards. At the 1956 Melbourne Olympics she became an Australian national hero and world swimming star, winning the 100 metres freestyle gold medal in world record time as well as taking gold in the 100 metres freestyle relay and silver in the 400 metres freestyle.

Dawn won two more gold medals at the 1958 Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales, and another gold at the Rome Olympics in 1960 for the 100 metres freestyle. By this time she had become a legend of the first rank in Australian sport. Back then, as today, she remained untouched by her achievements.

After winning four gold medals at the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth. Dawn finished her international swimming career at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, silencing her critics by winning a gold medal in the 100 metres freestyle at the age of 27. This took her Olympic medal count to four gold medals and four silver medals. She has continued to give back to her sport and other sports by being a mentor(良师) for Abled and Disabled Australian Olympic Teams since 1988.

Twenty years later Dawn returned to public life. She has since kept an active role in the sporting and wider community as patron(代言人) of the Cerebral Palsy Sports Association, the Wheelchair Sports Association of Victoria and of the Ladies Professional Golf Association. She is also a member of the NSW Sports Advisory Board and is a director of the Wests Tigers Football Club, Balmain Leagues Club and Balmain Football Club.
