Millie Hudson (11 July 1902 – 17 September 1966) was a British diver, open water swimmer, diving coach, and sports journalist. She competed in the women's 3 metre springboard event at the 1924 Summer Olympics.[1] In 1927, she attempted to swim across the English Channel, but had to abandon her attempt after 13 hours in the water.[2] In 1928, she attempted to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, but failed after 8.5 hours due to rough waters.[3] After retiring from long-distance swimming, she continued to coach, and trained British Olympic springboard diver Esme Harris.[4] Hudson was the swimming correspondent for the Evening Standard in London, and became the first woman to be admitted to the Sports Writers' Association in 1949.[2]
