As a Swim England Tutor, Advanced Aquaphobia Coach, founder of Unity Swimming CIC and Swim Fearless, Katrice brings a unique combination of:
Katrice is also a dyslexic and dyspraxic thinker, diagnosed at 18, a decade after being written off by her primary school teachers. She spent ten years being measured with the broken ruler. Today she speaks about what neurodivergent thinking actually looks like in practice, pattern recognition at scale, systems thinking, creative problem-solving and why 1 in 5 people in your workforce may be carrying a label that has never served them.
As a transracial adoptee, adopted at six weeks old and raised by White British parents, Katrice also speaks about identity, belonging, and how the stories we inherit shape the businesses and lives we build. This is one of the most personal and powerful threads running through her forthcoming memoir, Swimming Through Fire, coming 2026.
