Katie Grimes

We spent the day at the University of Virginia and sat down with Katie Grimes for a conversation that felt especially meaningful. In this episode, Katie opens up about her transition from training as a high school athlete at Sandpipers to life at UVA, how dramatically her routine and independence changed, and why the team culture has been the steady anchor through it all. She reflects honestly on a challenging NCAA season, learning to separate her identity from performance, and trusting the process when results didn’t immediately show up. We also talk about happiness, growth, gratitude, and the relationships that now matter most to her. Thoughtful, emotional, and wise beyond her years, this conversation is a powerful look at what it really means to grow up in the sport.-----Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week.-----FOLLOW KATIE ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/-----FOLLOW MISSY ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missyfranklin88/-----SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSIM8health.com/discount/unfiltered for 10% offdreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% offendlesspools.com/unfiltered to unlock $1,000 off-----#UnfilteredWaters #Swimming #KatieGrimes
