I Always Thought, It Would Be Neat

I Consider Myself Normal. I've Spent 20 Years In The Pool. I Consider That Something That's Normal.

Swimming Is Normal For Me. I'm Relaxed. I'm Comfortable, And I Know My Surroundings. It's My Home.

I'm Fortunate To Have An Amazing, Strong Mother Who Is So Supportive Of Everything Me And My Sisters Did Growing Up - But She Was Someone Who Never Forced Us To Go Swim Or To Go Do This Or That. She Helped Us Think About Certain Consequences When We Needed To, But We Made Our Own Decisions. I Think If I Were Forced To Swim, I Wouldn't Have Stayed In The Pool As Long As I Did.

If You Want To Be The Best You Have To Do Things That Other People Aren't Willing To Do.

I Treat Every Race The Same. We All Wanted To Swim Fast Today And Give Something Back To The Crowd.
