Representing Great Britain, she won bronze medals in the 400 m freestyle at the 2005 World Championships and 2006 European Championships.

McClatchey was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England and raised in Brixworth, Northamptonshire, making her eligible for the England team. However, she chose to follow in the footsteps of her parents, John and Louise, who swam for the Scottish team at the 1970 and 1974 Commonwealth Games respectively. Her uncle Alan McClatchey was an Olympic bronze medallist in 1976. She competed in cross country running before opting to concentrate on swimming. She is a member of the University of Edinburgh swimming club, having previously been a member of Northampton swimming club.
McClatchey has been in a relationship with fellow swimmer Liam Tancock since 2006. She started studying for a master's degree in Performance Psychology at the University of Edinburgh in January 2013.
