Hi! I’m Bella! I am currently a 10th grader at Thomas S. Wootton High School! I have been swimming since before I could walk but got into competitive swimming when I was in 3d grade! I love swimming and hanging out with my friends both in and out of the water!! Swimming has become my way to bond with people on and out of my team and I want kids like me to experience all the great ways swimming can change your life! One time before a 500 Free race my goggles broke so I had to rush around trying to find another pair! My teammate lent me her goggles and I won that race!! Having someone in your corner when you need it most is what I’ve come to like about swimming the most! Being able to do something to help other people is what I love; swimming is just the plus side to it!! I believe that every kid like me deserves a chance to have someone in their corner to help them whenever they need it!
