Anna Teresa Margareta "Greta" Johansson (9 January 1895 – 28 January 1978) was a Swedish diver and swimmer, who competed at the 1912 Summer Olympics. She won the gold medal in the 10 m platform and finished fourth with the Swedish 4 × 100 m freestyle relay team. Johansson learned to swim and dive in Stockholm's municipal baths Strömbadet. She attended them on free tickets given at her public school, as all Swedish children were then required to learn swimming and diving. Read more on Wikipedia
