Scott Erik Jaffe (born April 29, 1969) is an American former competition swimmer for the University of California Berkeley and an Olympic medalist.

Jaffe won a bronze medal representing the United States at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay.

[1] Swimming with the Gator club at the age of 10, Jaffe competed in the New England 10 and under tournament at Brown University.

[4] In July 1986, while still at Lexington High, Jaffe set an Olympic Festival record in the 200-meter breaststroke with a time of 2:20.74, finishing the race with a five meter lead.

[9] Jaffe attended the 1988 Olympic trials in August in Austin, swimming in a 400 meter freestyle relay, but failed to make the American team.

[13] He started college at Harvard University around the 1987-88 school year, where he won All American honors swimming in 1987 as a Freshman.

Low on funds, he worked with a Cambridge bank,[14] and competed and trained with a Club team called the Boston Scrods, where he switched from a focus on the Individual Medley and breaststroke, to freestyle sprinting.

[20][11] At Berkeley, Jaffe became a frequent competitor, gaining endurance and speed by swimming all the freestyle distances from 50 to 1000 yards, and most of the relays.
