When Jena Sims shares notes for aspiring models

Jena Sims got selected as a Swim Search co-winner in 2023 and 2024 SI rookie, which marked a major milestone in her career. While talking in an interview with the magazine, Sims shared some tips for upcoming models (quoted by SI Swimsuit):

"This is gonna sound so, like, cheesy, but be yourself. And if you don’t know who you are, find out and be that. Don’t be what you think they’re looking for."

Sims further motivated aspiring talents to participate in the "Swim Search process":

"I think I might have made that mistake my first year out, and then I’m like, ‘Nobody is better at being me than me,’ and they saw through that, in a good way, and they chose me. So, figure out who you are and be that person and then, I guess, stay tuned for more of the Swim Search updates, because that’s what I highly recommend doing, is entering through the Swim Search process."

Sims underwent a serious diet and workout regiment to prepare for the SI Swimsuit 60th Anniversary photoshoot.
