Clark Smith (born April 17, 1995) is a former American swimmer who specialized in freestyle and butterfly.
Smith was born April 17, 1995 in Atlanta, Georgia to John and Tori Smith, who both swam for the University of Texas. From a swimming family, Smith's father was an NCAA champion for the Texas Longhorns, and his mother represented the US at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. During Clark's teen years, the family made a move to the greater Denver area.
By 15, Clark swam for the Regis Jesuit High School Raiders, a private Catholic pre school in the Denver suburb of Aurora, Colorado, where in May 2010, he won a 5A state title in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 49.87, and placed second in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:41.24. In May 2013, improving as a Regis Jesuit senior, Smith broke the high school national record (NISCA) in the 100-yard butterfly in a time of 46.54 seconds.
