Katerine Savard (born May 26, 1993) is a Canadian former competitive swimmer who specializes in women's butterfly events and freestyle relay.
With her mother afraid of drowning, Savard began to swim early and dove into the water at the age of 8 months.
She continued to meet her Aquaventure 4 certification, where she stands out for her excellent technique in several strokes and was invited to join the sports team Swim Club UNIK from Pont-Rouge.
Within months, intensive training led her to achieve the standard Youth and to make her first provincial team, the "Triangulaire" in 2007.
In 2016, she is part of the national team and has participated in many major games including London Olympics 2012 for which she was selected at just 18 years of age.
In 2014 at 12th Pan Pacific Championships in Gold Coast, Australia, she won bronze medal in the 4×100-metre medley relay.
At the 2013 FINA Swimming World Cup series, she brought three silver medals in butterfly events.
She was replaced by Penny Oleksiak in the event final, but shared in the team's first-ever silver medal win at the World Championships in a relay.
