Mortimer won seven world-championship finals for Canada and the Netherlands, and four medals for Canada at her first Paralympic Games in London: two gold, one silver and one bronze. Mortimer competed in the 2008 Canadian Olympic Trials as an able-bodied swimmer, and retrained as a paraswimmer after a trampolining accident.
She began competing at the international level in 2010 with an SM10 classification, setting world records in the process (one of which she broke again in qualifying for the 2012 Paralympics).
Competing in six events, Mortimer won medals in all four individual races.
She holds world records in the S10 50- and 100-metre long-course freestyle and the 50- 100- and 200-metre backstroke.
In 2013 Mortimer applied to join the Netherlands national team, and announced her transfer in June 2014.
Winning three medals (two gold and one silver) at the 2014 IPC championships, she set two European records.
She did not compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics, citing "serious health reasons."
