Jaime Roberts

OLYMPIAN

With a swimming and surf lifesaving background, Jaime Roberts found kayaking an easy transition.

Jaime learnt to swim from an early age as her family had a swimming and surf lifesaving background. In 2012, she was crowned Western Australia State ski champion in surf lifesaving.

She switched to flat water paddling in 2013 and was inspired to aim for the Olympics after listening to the radio call of the Australian men’s K-4 1000 gold medal-winning race at the London 2012 Olympics.

At the 2013 WA State Kayaking Championships Jaime was noticed by the Western Australian Institute of Sport Head Coach and this paved the path to her future success.

In 2014 Jaime represented Australia competing at World Cup and World Championships.

Jamie also represented Australian paddling at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

As an Australian Surf Life Saving Championships finalist, Jamie represented the Mullaloo SLSC and has also represented Australia at the Lifesaving World Championships.
