“She said she wears one of them when she goes cold water swimming,” local mom Alison Cheeke told PEOPLE.
Kate’s sister, Pippa, is also a swimmer. Shewrote about swimmingbeing one of her go-to workouts while pregnant.

When Mike asked if any of their competitiveness had passed down totheir children—Prince George, 10,Princess Charlotte, 8, andPrince Louis, 5 — the Princess Royal, 73, interjected: “Just a little bit, I would suggest.”
“What I think is really interesting is that they are all obviously very different temperaments,” Kate answered, adding that “they are growing and trying out different sports.”
“They’re obviously still really young,” she continued. “It’s going to be interesting to see how that grows and develops."
