Walker swam for the U.S. Team at the 1948 Olympics.



"Clara was an extraordinary woman and athlete who excelled at all she did.  She loved her time working and training at PC, and was a huge Friar fan.  A member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, she was one of the most focused and driven athletes I have ever worked with.  She will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her." John O'Neill, Providence College Swim Coach
