Hi there! I’m Kaitlyn Johnson

A swimmer turned CrossFit enthusiast who’s all about pushing my limits. I grew up in the pool, starting to swim competitively at age 4 and competing through college at Clarion University, finishing my college career as a 28x All-American (NCAA maximum) and 9x school record holder. After college, I went on to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Trials, and recently I placed 6th in the 50 free at the 2022 U.S. Open, earning my spot at the 2024 Olympic Trials.

I found CrossFit in 2017 as a way to stay in shape after retiring from competitive swimming, but it quickly became a big part of my life. It ended up bringing me back to swimming and I love how it balances out my training, giving me a chance to challenge myself in totally different ways. The gym feels like a second home now, and there's nothing better than lifting with friends and testing my limits with every workout. My favorite piece of equipment? My pink barbell—it’s a reminder to keep things fun!
