Swimming career edit
McDowall was educated at Kilmarnock Academy and was a member of the Scottish Swimming Team from the age of 14.[2] Unusually she practiced in the local municipal swimming baths in Kilmarnock rather than any purpose-built training facility.
She was a member of the three-woman relay team at the 1954 Commonwealth games in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada[3] and at the ASA National British Championships she won the 110 yards backstroke title four times (1950, 1951, 1952, 1953).[4][5][6]
