* including one medal in the relay event in which she participated in the heats only
& At the 1991 World Aquatics Championships in Perth, Australia, US team won gold in the Women's 4 × 100 m medley relay. Jenny Thompson took part in the preliminary heats but, according to the former rules, teammates who swam only in preliminaries were not awarded with medals back then. That's why this victory was not included into her medal statistics.
# At the 2001 World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, in the Women's 4 × 200 m freestyle relay, the Australian team finished first but was disqualified for jumping into the pool in celebration before all teams finished the race. The US team finished second, but was disqualified for improper changeover. This was later blamed on the faulty touchpad. In accordance with the decision of the FINA Bureau (2001, Bangkok): "To avoid any reasonable doubt regarding the result of the Women’s relay 4x200m Freestyle Final of the 9th FINA World Championships in Fukuoka but without unfairly changing the official results of the race, the Bureau decided to grant a second set of gold medals to the USA team." Natalie Coughlin was one of four members of the USA team.
