Bella Sims is a competitive swimmer who represents the United States internationally. At the 2021 Olympic trials, at the age of 16, sims qualified for the Olympic team as a member of the 4×200 free relay by finishing 5th in the 200 free.

Coming into the 2021 Olympic Trials, Bella Sims was already getting quite a bit of attention. She had hit the most Olympic Trial cuts of any swimmer in the country (11) and ended up competing in 4 events at the Wave II meet: 100, 200, 800 free, and 100 fly.

In Omaha Olympic Trials, Nebraska, Sims started her program with the 100 fly on day 1, tying for 33rd in a time of 1:00.02. In her next event, the 200 freestyle, she made huge strides, qualifying for the final and ultimately finishing 5th in 1:57.53, earning her a spot on the Olympic team for the 4×200 free relay. This made her the lowest seed (39th) to make the US Olympic swimming team since 2000

She finished the meet by swimming prelims of the 100 free (48th, 56.48) and prelims/finals of the 800 free, finishing 5th overall at 8:23.55. – Bio Courtesy Of Swim Swam.

Swimming is more than just a sport to me.

It’s a way of life. It’s a passion. And it’s something that I take very seriously. Swimming is an amazing feeling.

Every time I dive into the pool, I feel a sense of calm and peace.

It’s like all my troubles and worries disappear and I can just focus on the task at hand.

Bella

Dear Bella,
You’ve come a long way from the cute-smilling 6-year-old happy little girl that we first saw in 2011 to a grown achiever that you have become today.

The world is so vast for your dreams! You got this. You have honed yourself to be the strongest and the most successful 17-year-old girl that you are. You worked so hard to reach such incredible success in such a young age. Indeed you are an epitome of a champion.

(And)Don’t be too hard on yourself (too). Whilst you continue living your dream, always remember to remain the humble girl your mom and family always knew you to be.

God Bless your journeys and pave each step of your way towards being the greatest swimmer you can be. We love you and we’re both so proud of you!"
