A Candid Poolside Chat with Bella Sims
Bella Sims: Hey Michael, thanks for taking the time to chat with me. It’s always exciting to talk with a legend like yourself!
Michael Phelps: Oh, come on, Bella! You’re killing it out there. I remember when I was your age, the pool was my second home. So, tell me, what’s your daily routine like?
Bella Sims: It’s insane, but I love it. I usually wake up at 5 AM, hit the pool for a couple of hours, then it’s off to strength training. By mid-morning, I’m starving and ready to refuel. How about you? How did you juggle everything when you were in the thick of it?
Michael Phelps: Very similar, actually. I felt like I was living on autopilot with all the training, eating, and sleeping. The key was staying focused on my goals. Speaking of goals, what are you aiming for next?
Bella Sims: Well, the big dream is definitely the Olympics. Every lap I swim, I picture myself on that podium. But I’m also working on improving my times at every meet. Small steps, you know?
Michael Phelps: That’s the right mindset. Every little improvement counts. Do you have any particular race that you’re particularly gunning for?
Bella Sims: The 200m freestyle is my jam right now. There’s something about that balance of speed and strategy that really clicks for me. Plus, the adrenaline rush is unbeatable!
Michael Phelps: Can’t argue with that. I remember those races, the feeling of slicing through the water, the roar of the crowd. It’s something else. How do you handle the pressure?
Bella Sims: Honestly, I think a lot about advice from older swimmers, like focusing on what’s in my control and staying present. And of course, I have a great support system—from my coaches to my family and friends.
Michael Phelps: That’s awesome. Keeping a good balance is crucial. Any hobbies or activities you enjoy outside of swimming?
Bella Sims: For sure! I love painting and sketching. It’s such a relaxing escape from the rigor of training. How about you? What kept you grounded outside the pool?
Michael Phelps: I was really into playing video games and anything that kept my mind off swimming for a bit. Mental breaks are just as important as physical ones. Do you ever feel like pursuing art professionally?
Bella Sims: Maybe someday! But for now, swimming is my passion and primary focus. Who knows where life will take me after swimming?
Michael Phelps: And that’s the beauty of life, Bella. Keep swimming your heart out, and everything else will fall into place. Looking forward to seeing you dominate at the Olympics!
Bella Sims: Thanks, Michael! That means a lot coming from you. Catch you in the water sometime!
Michael Phelps: Absolutely, Bella. Keep making waves!
