Kate Brookes-Peterson

Kate Brookes-Peterson (born 14 May 1984) is an Australian open water swimmer.

She won Australia's first medal at the 2007 FINA World Championships with a bronze in the Women's 5 km open water event. Her result was not without controversy though with German Britta Kamrau-Corestein, whom she beat home for bronze by 0.1 seconds, accusing her of foul play by pulling on her swimming costume. Brookes-Peterson flatly denied the accusation.

She was coached by Australian swimming coach Ken Wood.
