}} Irene Steer (10 August 1889 – 18 April 1977) was a Welsh freestyle swimmer. She was one of the three Welsh women who have won Olympic gold medals, the others being Nicole Cooke (cycling, 2008) and Jade Jones (taekwondo, 2012). In 1912, Steer won a gold medal in the 4×100 m relay and failed to reach the final of the individual 100 m race.〔(Irene Steer ). sports-reference.com〕 Steer started as a breaststroke swimmer, but in 1908–1909 changed to crawl. After retiring from competitions she married William Nicholson, director and chairman of Cardiff City F.C. They had three daughters and one son.〔Jo Manning (11 August 2008) (First champ 'would be thrilled' ).
