Irene Steer was a Welsh freestyle swimmer. Steer started as a breaststroke swimmer, but in 1908–1909 changed to crawl. From 1907 until 1913, she held the Welsh championship unbeaten every year and was described in reports of the races as a "beautiful", "neat" and the "most graceful swimmer". She held jointly the world record for 100m in 1910, 1912 and 1913.
