Usage Note
Nadadora is the feminine form of nadador (male swimmer). In competition contexts, nadadora often refers to a competitive swimmer rather than a casual one. Spanish uses the gendered pair consistently — you would say es una gran nadadora to praise a woman's swimming skill.
Examples
"La nadadora ganó la medalla de oro."
