Hi my name is Ella Gilpin and this is my third year participating in the Save the Bay Swim. I have been a competitive swimmer for 11 years now, and swimming is something I am very passionate about. I started open water swimming in 2020 as a way to stay in shape while the pools were closed due to Covid-19. Little did I know I would fall in love with it. I love the Save the Bay Swim not only because of my passion for swimming, but also because the raised funds go towards cleaning our ocean and bringing awareness to our surrounding environment. Please support me in keeping our waters clean and in protecting the ocean’s wildlife. Thank you for supporting the Save the Bay Foundation!
