Daniella loves the feeling of power and freedom she gets in the water. Swimming allows her to push her limits, stay focused, and feel proud of her progress. She enjoys competing but also finds joy in every stroke—especially butterfly, which makes her feel unstoppable.
Daniella is inspired by Olympic athletes who’ve worked hard and made it to the top. She admires their dedication, strength, and perseverance, and dreams of following in their footsteps. Their success shows her that anything is possible with passion and commitment.
One of the proudest moments was seeing Daniella compete while feeling unwell—she showed incredible resilience and focus. Her love for swimming never wavered, and her dedication moved her coaches and family. That moment truly showed her heart as an athlete.
