In July 2023, during an interview with the Globe and Mail, Summer McIntosh shared insights into her happiest moments, greatest achievements, and personal interests. She shared how she finds joy at her cottage with loved ones and competing in major events.

Her most prized possession is her cat, Mikey, named after Michael Phelps, whom she admires. McIntosh further revealed that she loves fashion, the Kardashians, and Formula 1, which she began following after attending an Abu Dhabi race in 2021.

However, the Canadian swimmer regrets missing a photo with Lewis Hamilton, her major inspiration. Reflecting on her inspiration, the interviewer asked:

"Who is a person you’d love to meet?" (theglobeandmail.com)

The Olympian responded:

"Lewis Hamilton, probably. We were able to go into the hospitality area for an F1 race once, and I saw him from afar and I started freaking out, and I wasn’t able to ask for a photo. He’s one of my biggest inspirations."

Later in the interview, she acknowledged that despite her dominance in swimming, she struggles with other sports, including basketball and soccer.
