Bella Sims pulled a sensational double tonight, swimming 4:28.64 in the 500 free and 1:52.73 in the 200 IM within minutes of each other. Sims describes how she thought both races went as well as what makes a good Sandpipers taper.
Confirmed she is the worlds first aquatic robot
I wish she and Summer were racing! Bella is a force. I wonder if she’ll stay and train with Ron through Paris. Seems like it’s definitely working for her.
I don’t remember ever seeing anyone kick out to 15m on the start of a 500!
The only other one I remember is Seliskar, which is funny because his trajectory might be the most similar to hers. Awesome at pretty much everything as a teen, figuring out what to focus on is the challenge.
It makes sense, like why not? You have the benefit of the start and the legs for it then, as opposed to later in the race.
This girl is fierce! In attack mode every time she steps up onto the blocks.
Can’t wait to see Bella crush the 200. I believe she was out faster than Summer at the 200 mark in yesterday’s 500?
This East/West drama is SUPER fun!
I think Bella is not normal. This girl is over the top.
What does that even mean
It’s always fun when you realize an athlete is a SwimSwam fan like we are.
It’s always dicey when you realize an athlete is reading the comments like we are, because, you know, we’re all got a little crazy idiot in us.
People gotta realize that the comments section is essentially a subreddit
A subreddit in which Braden knows who we all really are!
Queen
Simmering!
