Hi, I'm Bella
I grew up in Australia and basically lived at the pool. Butterfly was my stroke, the hard one nobody else wanted, and I loved it. That obsession never really wore off.
These days I pour all that energy into Elite Swimmer HQ: the guides, the gear breakdowns and the little technique tips I wish someone had told me sooner. It is the swimming site I always wished I could read.
What you can expect
A few things I hold to, whether you are buying your first pair of goggles or chasing a new personal best.
Plain English
Guides written to be understood, not to show off. No jargon, no gatekeeping, just clear steps you can use at your next session.
Honest about money
Some links are affiliate links, so I may earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. It never changes what I recommend.
Something for every level
From your very first lap to race day, the content meets you where you are and helps you take the next step.
