Tamara "Tammy" Crow DeClercq (born February 3, 1977) is an American competitor and coach in synchronized swimming.
Crow was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She participated in the Santa Clara Aquamaids team. On February 16, 2003, Crow was driving in the Sierra Nevada when her vehicle slid off the road, killing two passengers, her boyfriend Cody Tatro, and a child in Tatro's care, 12-year-old Brett Slinger.[1] Crow pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter.
