Meulenkamp was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and had a brother Jack.[3][1] She was the beneficiary of a special act of the U.S. Congress signed by President Truman in order to become a U.S. citizen and compete in the Olympics as an American. She became a media sensation at the 1952 Olympics when the good looks of the "copper-haired American swimmer" attracted the attention of newspaper and magazine photographers.[4] She later worked for Pacific Southwest Airlines and served as athletic director of the Metropolitan Club. She married Jack K. Dooling, a San Francisco attorney, and had two boys with him, John and Matthew. She died in San Francisco aged 79.[5] References1. ^1 2 Sports-Reference.com, Olympic Sports, Athletes, [https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/me/delia-meulenkamp-1.html Delia Meulenkamp].
