Petra Dallmann (born November 21, 1978 in Freiburg im Breisgau) is a former German swimmer.

Her swimming career began at SV Neptun Umkirch e. ​​V.

Her specialty was the 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle, which is why she often swam for the German national team in the freestyle relay. In 2001, Dallmann became world champion with the 4×100-meter relay team (Petra Dallmann, Antje Buschschulte, Katrin Meißner, and Sandra Völker), and in 2004 at the Olympic Games in Athens, she won the bronze medal with the 4×200-meter relay team (Franziska van Almsick, Petra Dallmann, Antje Buschschulte, and Hannah Stockbauer).

For this, she and her relay team received the Silver Laurel Leaf on March 16, 2005.

She also won four European Championship titles and became German champion in the 200-meter freestyle in 2005. After the 2009 World Championships in Rome, where she won another silver medal with the 4 x 100-meter relay, she retired.

Dallmann, who is 1.84 meters tall, competed for SV Nikar Heidelberg. She studied medicine at the University of Heidelberg and has been a doctor since 2006. She is a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy and chief physician of the Libermenta Klinik Schloss Freudental.

In March 2023, she spoke with former professional cyclist Dominik Nerz in an interview on Deutschlandfunk about eating disorders in (top-level) sport.

Dr. Steinbach about is sports activities now:

Swimming has show events less than other sport disciplines. Otherwise I would make my swimming rounds more often for sure.
But seriously: Of course I do make sport, I do jogging three to five times a week or go riding mountainbike. After a career in top
sport this is a necessity as everybody knows. It is a good compensation for stress in the profession as a medical doctor and thus
gives good support to it.
Apart from that it means living a good example for the patients.
