"Competition will be strong for this award but Katie has as good a chance as anyone as her achievements have been so great."

Katie, 15, from Walmer, swims for Thanet under coach David Whorlow. She attends Sir Roger Manwood's School in Sandwich.

She shone at the UK School Games last month, at the Olympics aquatic centre, where she represented England in five events.

Katie helped her country to a bronze medal in the relay with a fine swim

Before that she claimed two goal medals at the south-east regional championships in the 50m backstroke in a record time and the 50m freestyle.

Her twin sister Alice is also a lightning quick swimmer who herself has recorded times of national standard.
