So excited and proud to share that Isabella has achieved a National Swimming Qualifying time for her 400 Freestyle, with the National Championship meet being held in Brisbane this April. At only 13 years of age, this is the first year Isabella has been eligible to compete at this National level, she was striving to achieve this goal from the start of the season. Achieving a National Age Qualifying time places swimmers within the top 10% across the Nation.

This achievement is only possible with hard work and dedication to her training and racing practice. Isabella trains 6 sessions per week with training early mornings before school, after school and early on Saturday mornings. As well as the scheduled training sessions with her coach, Isabella also undertakes an at home gym program a couple times a week, based on a program developed with her coach.

She will be representing her swimming club STARplex at this meet, with her race scheduled for Tuesday 15th April. The race will be livestreamed and details of how to watch Isabella take this next step on her swimming journey will be shared once details are known.

Any financial support to assist with helping Isabella on this experience is greatly appreciated. Financial support will go towards flights, accommodation and other travel expenses.

Thank you!
