Irma Heijting-Schuhmacher (24 February 1925 - 8 January 2014) was a freestyle swimmer from the Netherlands who won two medals at the Summer Olympics. After having claimed the bronze medal in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay in London (1948), she won the silver medal four years later in Helsinki, Finland, in the same event. Individually, she was sixth in the 100 m freestyle at both games.[1] She also won two gold and two silver medals at the 1947 and 1950 European Championships.[2]

They married on 22 March 1952,[3] and one week after the 1952 Olympics, Heijting-Schuhmacher moved to her husband's breeding farm near Brisbane.[4] [1]
