Fitness influencer Katie Austin stunned in her third and most recent SI Swimsuit photo shoot, but what else can we expect from the 2021 Swim Search co-winner and ’22 co-Rookie of the Year?

For this year’s publication, the 29-year-old was photographed by James Macari in the Dominican Republic while wearing a series of super fun Barbiecore-inspired bikinis.

“This is so exciting. I feel like it’s such an exciting time to all be together too,” the certified fitness trainer and health coach said during the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue launch week events at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. “I feel like [I’m] leading all the rookies as well, kind of showing them the ropes in a little way, because it’s technically year three for me. It’s really fun to be back and getting close with the other girls and to be with the whole team. I’m running on so much adrenaline right now. I should be tired, but it’s so exciting.”

Below are eight of our favorite photos from Austin’s SI Swimsuit photo shoot this year.
