Colleen Anne Lanné[a] (born August 18, 1979), also known by her married name as Colleen Lanne Cox is an American former competition swimmer for the University of Texas who represented the United States in the Olympics, FINA world championships and Pan American Games. She competed internationally in freestyle swimming events.

Colleen Lanné was born in Tucson, Arizona, on August 18, 1979, to University of Arizona defensive back Justin Lanne and wife Cindy, who worked as an administrator at the Tucson Medical Center.[1] Colleen started swimming around the age of eight in the summer of 1987 to occupy her time, and continued summer training to gain an edge.[2] Beginning young, she started competing in stroke competition by the summer of 1990 at the age of 10 with the Tucson area's La Paloma Club team, but began training in earnest with the Hildenbrand Aquatic team by 14 under Coach Paul Steinway. The Hildenbrand Team trained at the University of Arizona Hilldenbrand Aquatics Center, a premier facility.[3] One of her first major tournaments was in August 1994 when she swam in the Phillips 66 National Swimming Championship in Indianapolis after recording a qualifying time of 23.9 in the 50 yard freestyle.[4][5][6]
