Caroline Cadman Bruce (born June 9, 1986), later known by her married name Caroline McAndrew,[2] is an American former competition swimmer who represented the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics and placed ninth in the breaststroke.[3] She competed in the preliminary heats of the women's 200-meter breaststroke.[1]

After the 2004 Olympics, Bruce attended Stanford University,[2] where she competed for the Stanford Cardinal women's swimming team, specializing in the breaststroke and individual medley events. Bruce was the 2005 NCAA champion in the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke, and received 13 All-American honors during her college career.[2][3] These victories followed her first national championship in the summer of 2003 in the 200-meter breaststroke in College Park, Maryland. Bruce was also a member of the U.S. team for the 2005 World University Games, and had surgery on her shoulder afterwards.[2] In 2008, she had a second shoulder surgery.[2]

Bruce is a 2004 graduate of Trinity Academy in Wichita, Kansas.[2] While attending Trinity she won 13 Kansas state titles,[3] the tying the record number of wins by any female swimmer in the state of Kansas. After high school, she went on to attend Stanford University, where she graduated with a B.A. and M.A. in communications.

In 2014, she was inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame.[3]
