Alison Bartosik (born April 20, 1983), also known at times by her 2018 married name Allison Beaver, is an American competitor in synchronized swimming who competed for Stanford University and won two bronze medals at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In addition to competing during her college years, she worked as a coach, and after graduating from college with a business degree, worked as a corporate sales executive.
Bartosik was born April 20, 1983 in Flagstaff, Arizona, but grew up in California. Beginning to train in synchronized swimming at age 8, by 15 she became one of the youngest members of the U.S. Junior National team. She attended Santa Clara High School, and trained and competed with the Santa Clara Aquamaids.[1] The Aquamaids trained at the Santa Clara Aquatics complex in the same facility as the highly competitive Santa Clara Swim Club. Through the age of 19 with the Aquamaids, Bartosik was managed by Chris Carver who served as head coach from 1984 to 2022.[2]
At the 2003 World Championships, Bartosik captured a second place finish in the combo competition and in the team event placed third.[3] At the U.S. Open Swimming Championships, she captured the 14–15 age-group solo championship.[4] At the Santo Domingo Pan American games in 2003, Bartosik won a gold medal in both the duet and team competition.[1]
