After a turbulent spring that included a positive drug test scare and changing colleges, Bella Sims has rediscovered her love for swimming. Sims competed for Florida at the NCAA Championships in March, then returned home to Las Vegas, where she has been training with her club team, the Sandpipers of Nevada. She recently announced a transfer to Michigan.
This seems to have been a welcome change for Sims, as she got herself back on Team USA for this summer after missing the Olympic team in 2024.
Happy Bella = Fast Bella = Happy SwimSwam readers
Usually what happens when you leave Florida. Nesty is the least personable coach out there. I’m sure Kristen was great coach for her but you need something from a head coach and she wasn’t getting that
I don’t think Florida was the problem, it just wasn’t a good fit
More Bella on the pod, Unfiltered Waters. Very insightful.
yess loved that pod but she was saying like way too much
Happy for her! But it always confused me why she didn’t take a 2023-24 gap year to prep for the Olympics (right after graduating high school and before starting college) like Katie Ledecky did before Rio. I really believe that she had the potential to qualify individually in the 200 and 400 based on her 2023 Nationals results
i was truly shocked when she didnt take the gap year, it looked that she was trending that way the whole quad
Keep plugging. You have lots of fans out here. Smash up the Big 10!
Likely one of the few people on earth that can go back to their mega distance program and fall BACK in love with swimming.
In all seriousness, this makes me so happy! Always a fan of Bella’s, just always has a great attitude and is smiling constantly, deserves all her success!
Another day, another shade thrown at Florida
At least the Florida Gators still have Emma Weyant and Katie Ledecky on the women’s side.
