- When she was seven, a swimming teacher noticed that Katie was doublejointed and suggested she take up synchronised swimming due to excellent flexibility.
- Katie did ballet as a child and believes this aided her learning of synchronised swimming.
- Katie is the youngest member of the Team GB synchronised swimmers. She remembers being at school when they announced that London was picked for the Games. At the time she was only 10 years old and remembers thinking 'wow'. She hadn't realised how much this would really affect her!
