Swagerty represented the United States as a 17-year-old at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.

[2] She also swam the backstroke leg in the preliminary heats of the women's 100-meter medley relay for the gold medal-winning U.S. team, [1] but did not receive a medal under the 1968 international swimming rules because she did not swim in the event final.
