Hagberg was born in Karlstad, but her family soon moved to Uppsala where at age 8 she started swimming in a club. In 1963, aged 15, she broke three European records in the 100 m freestyle, all within one month. In total, during her career she set four European and 35 national records. After retiring from swimming, she received bachelor's degrees in sociology, psychology and law from the Lund University. She then worked in Stockholm, with the Swedish Science Association, PTK, and Swedish Swimming Federation (1979–1981). In 1986, she moved to an advertising agency, where she later became president.[4]
