I Don't Have A Strict Diet. It's

The More You Dream The More You Achieve.

I Would Visualize The Best- And Worst-case Scenarios. Whether I Get Disqualified Or My Goggles Fill Up With Water Or I Lose My Goggles Or I Come In Last, I'm Ready For Anything.

My Mom Put Me And My Sisters In The Water To Feel Comfortable, To Have Water Safety.

Once I'm Already In My Room, I Still Have To Open A Door To Get Into My Bed. It's Like A Giant Box. It's Like The Boy In A Bubble.

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.
