She has cerebral palsy, and, at the age of three, was encouraged by her mother to join a group for disabled swimmers to strengthen and relax her muscles.
She came to love the sport, competing as an S6 swimmer, and was selected to swim for Team GB at the age of 14.
At the 2006 IPC Swimming World Championships in Durban, South Africa, Johnson won an individual gold medal in the 100 metre breaststroke, and two relay golds.

She currently lives in Bath, Somerset, and trains with the University of Bath training group, Team Bath.
While Johnson was on the aeroplane to the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, her mother died after a long battle with cervical cancer.
She decided to continue with the Games when she was told that the funeral could be held when she returned home.
Johnson spends one day a week studying accountancy, and is considering a career in that field when she retires from competitive swimming.
She won gold in the 100 metre breaststroke at the 2008 Summer Paralympics, eleven days after the death of her mother, dedicating the victory to her memory.
She repeated her breaststroke success at the 2009 event, breaking the world record in the process, and also picked up two individual medley bronze medals.
