Anna Helms is an 8th grader at South County Middle School. She began swimming with Coach Beth around age 4, and has been swimming since she was 6 years old on the Crosspointe Cruisers and on the Mason Makos since age 7. Her favorite events are 50 and 100 freestyle, and 200 backstroke. She enjoys coaching because it makes her excited to see new, young swimmers create a love for the water and start their swimming future, just like she did.
