Diana Marie Munz (born June 19, 1982), later known by her married name Diana DePetro, is an American former competition swimmer and Olympic champion from Moreland Hills, Ohio. She represented the United States at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where she won a gold medal in the women's 4×200-meter freestyle relay and a silver medal in 400-meter freestyle. Four years later at the 2004 Athens Olympics she added a bronze medal in the 800-meter freestyle to her Olympic medal collection.[1] She has 3 daughters; Sydney (age 14), Her song, Reogun (age 11), and Penelope (age 6).

Despite her gold medal performance in the 2000 Olympics, she was injured in a car accident in 1999 that caused some pain and minor damage to her back which included compressed vertebrae. She had pain at times after completing long training afterwards. During 2003, she took courses at John Carroll University but did not swim for the school.[2]
