She grew up on the East Yorkshire Coast and spent her summer holidays swimming as a child in the North Sea. Her love for the sea continued, and she started bodyboarding and surfing as a young adult. Katie still loves the water and all the benefits it brings to the mind and soul. Since moving to the Highlands in 2009, she developed a love for open water swimming in freshwater lochs and paddleboarding. She adores the clarity the water brings and her favourite time of year for a dip in Loch Ness is in the winter.
