At the 1967 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Canada, Moore received the silver medal for her second-place performance in the 200-meter backstroke.[1] She finished behind Canadian star Elaine Tanner and ahead of American teammate Cathy Ferguson.[1]

Moore represented the United States at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.[2] She competed in the women's 100-meter backstroke, finishing in fourth place overall in the event final with a time of 1:08.3.[2][3]

Moore broke two world records during her swimming career. She set a new world record in the 200-meter butterfly of 2:26.3 on August 15, 1965; it was broken six days later by Ada Kok of the Netherlands. She was also a member of a U.S. relay team that set a new world record in the 4×100-meter medley relay at the 1967 Pan American Games. The medley relay record survived for thirteen months until it was broken by another team of Americans in 1968.
