SWIMMING

Victoria Catterson was born just outside of Belfast, Northern Ireland on the 25th of March 2001. Starting swimming lessons when she was 5 years old, she has tried nearly every sport she could get into. From tennis to athletics to tag rugby, she’s tried the majority but swimming was the one that stuck. Representing Ireland for the first time at European Juniors in 2018, she progressed to representing Ireland at the Paris Olympics in 2024, setting Irish records along the way.

Most rewarding moment in sport: going through the dark, quiet periods and seeing your hard work was worth it in the results.

Talents other than sport: I don’t know about “talent” but I love to bake and host friends and family at my house.
