Kaitlyn Dobler (born February 15, 2002) is an American competitive swimmer. She is the 2022 NCAA Division I champion in the 100-yard breaststroke. She won the national title in the 100-meter breaststroke at the 2022 US National Championships.

Background

Dobler was born February 15, 2002, in Portland, Oregon to Neil Dobler, an engineer at Intel, and Rebecca "Becky", a professor at George Fox University. She is the oldest of two siblings, her sister three years her junior. She graduated from Aloha High School in Aloha, Oregon, in 2020, where she competed as part of the school swim team. She started attending the University of Southern California and competing collegiately for the USC Trojans starting in the fall of 2020. In December 2022, she announced her intent to compete for the university through the end of her master's degree (through the 2024–2025 season), utilizing a fifth year of NCAA eligibility made available to NCAA student-athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her ability to compete in swimming has on occasion been impacted by her asthma, including at the 2021 NCAA Division I Championships in the 200-yard breaststroke.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Kaitlyn Dobler” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kaitlyn, Dobler and American provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q110271156. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2022, 2019 and 2020.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
