Frank Thomas Winters (born October 15, 1939) is an American former competition swimmer who represented the United States at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.[1] He swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay.[1][2] However, Winters did not receive a medal because only relay swimmers who competed in the event final were eligible under the 1960 Olympic rules.
