At the beginning of her career she was a backstroke swimmer and in 1991, the year Alshammar turned 14, she won her first national short course title in the 50&nbsp;m backstroke at the [[1991 Swedish Short Course Swimming Championships]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://scmsom.se/medalists/sm/50%20Rygg%20D%20KB.htm |title=Swedish Medalists |work=scmsom.se}}</ref> The year after, when she was 14 years old, she won her first national long course senior title, 100&nbsp;m backstroke at the [[1992 Swedish Swimming Championships]] representing [[Järfälla SS]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://scmsom.se/medalists/sm/100%20Rygg%20D%20LB.htm |title=Swedish Medalists |work=scmsom.se}}</ref>

Alshammar was a part of the Swedish team at the [[1993 European Aquatics Championships|1993 European Championships]] in [[Sheffield]], finishing fourth in the 100&nbsp;m backstroke final, and in the [[1993 FINA Short Course World Championships|inaugural World Short Course Championships]] in [[Palma de Mallorca]]. In Palma de Mallorca she placed ninth in the individual 100&nbsp;m backstroke, swum the prelims in the silver medal winning 4×100&nbsp;m freestyle team and came fourth in the 4×100&nbsp;m medley alongside breaststroker [[Hanna Jaltner]], butterfly swimmer [[Ellenor Svensson]] and [[Linda Olofsson (swimmer)|Linda Olofsson]] on the freestyle leg.

She first appeared on the international scene after the [[1994 World Aquatics Championships]] where she made the semifinals in the 100&nbsp;m [[backstroke]]. In the [[1996 Olympics]], she participated in this event and reached the semifinals.

In 1997, Alshammar moved to the United States and [[Lincoln, Nebraska]] to study at the [[University of Nebraska–Lincoln]] and swim for the [[Nebraska Cornhuskers swimming and diving team]] together with [[Mikaela Laurén|Destiny Laurén]] under the coach [[Cal Bentz]]. The time in the United States resulted in one individual [[1999 Big 12 Conference Women's Swimming and Diving Championships]] gold medal, on the 100 yard freestyle. At the [[NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships|NCAA Division 1 Women's Swimming and Diving Championships]], she won a silver medal in the 4×200 yard relay team 1998 and fourth in 50 yard freestyle and 100 yard freestyle 1999.

Alshammar also trained at [[The Race Club]], a swimming club founded by Olympic Swimmers [[Gary Hall Jr.]] and his father, [[Gary Hall Sr.]] The Race Club, originally known as "The World Team," was designed to serve as a training group for elite swimmers across the world in preparation for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. To be able to train with the Race Club, one must either have been ranked in the top 20 in the world the past 3 calendar years or top 3 in their nation in the past year. The Race Club included well-known swimmers as [[Roland Mark Schoeman]], [[Mark Foster (swimmer)|Mark Foster]], [[Ryk Neethling]], [[Ricky Busquet]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theraceclub.net/mission-statement/history/world-team/ |title=The World Team |work=The Race Club |access-date=23 May 2012 |archive-date=20 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820233114/http://theraceclub.com/mission-statement/history-of-swim-camps/world-team/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Alshammar won her first international medal, a bronze in the 50&nbsp;m freestyle, at the [[1997 European Aquatics Championships|1997 European Championships]]. She developed this stroke into her speciality and won the silver at the [[1999 European Aquatics Championships|1999 European Championships]]. She broke through to the top ranks at the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] in Sydney where she won silver medals in the 50&nbsp;m and 100&nbsp;m freestyle, both times vanquished by [[Inge de Bruijn]], and a bronze medal with the Swedish relay team.

Since Sydney, she has been a favourite at major international events over short distances.

In the [[2002 European Aquatics Championships|2002 European Championships]] in Berlin she won the 50&nbsp;m freestyle.

In 2003, she let up to focus on the [[Athens 2004 Olympic Games]]. In her only start in the 50&nbsp;m, she barely missed a medal, coming fourth in the 50&nbsp;m freestyle.
In the [[2005 World Aquatics Championships]] in [[Montreal]], she won a bronze medal in the 50&nbsp;m butterfly, and took the gold on the same distance at World Championships in Shanghai 2011.

She was later disqualified by Swimming Australia for wearing two swimsuits. FINA, swimming's governing body, had ratified a new rule only 17 days previously that swimmers can only wear one suit. Alshammar initially appealed the disqualification but withdrew the appeal when the new rule was explained to her.<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090317/sp_nm/us_swimming_butterfly_record;_ylt=ApUlppcWrYvCV9K7eslsYcwLMxIF Alshammer Disqualified] Yahoo Sports, 17 March 2009  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090323064815/http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090317/sp_nm/us_swimming_butterfly_record |date=23 March 2009 }}</ref>

On 31 July 2011 she won the gold medal at 50 meter freestyle at the [[2011 World Aquatics Championships]], making her the oldest woman to win an individual gold medal at the long-course world championships. The day before, she had already won the silver medal in the 50 meter butterfly.
