Agnes Geraghty (November 26, 1907 – March 1, 1974), also known by her married name Agnes McAndrews, was an American competition swimmer who represented the United States at the 1924 Summer Olympics and 1928 Summer Olympics.
Geraghty began swimming in 1923 and was trained by L.D.B. Handey, who was the coach of the New York Women's Swimming Association.[1] She won the Middle Atlantic breast-stroke championship either in or prior to 1924.[2] At the 1924 Olympics in Paris, she won a silver medal in the women's 200-meter breaststroke with a time of 3:34.0. Four years later at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, she was fourth in her semifinal of the 200-meter breaststroke event and did not advance.[3] She was the 1928 and 1929 United States women's breast-stroke national champion at 220 yards.[1] She was said to have held 17 swimming records during her career.[2][4]
