I Try To Separate My Personal Life

My Mom Never Really Pushed Me Into Doing Something. It Was Kind Of Whatever I Wanted To Do, And That Was What Made Me Continue And Have The Longevity That I Had In My Career. I Went Through Ups And Downs In The Pool When I Loved It And When I Hated It.

Swimming Is More Than A Once-every-four-years Sport. My Goal Is To Bring Attention To Swimming - To Give It Some Personality.

Before The (olympic) Trials I Was Doing A Lot Of Relaxing Exercises And Visualization. And I Think That That Helped Me To Get A Feel Of What It Was Gonna Be Like When I Got There. I Knew That I Had Done Everything That I Could To Get Ready For That Meet, Both Physically And Mentally

Our Time On Earth Is Already Short Enough. For Me, It's Like Every Single Day I Try To Be As Happy As I Can. It's Crazy To Think About. We Never Have Enough Time. That's Always The Thing. We Always Want To Do More. So It's About Being Able To Spend Time On The Things That Are Most Important To You. Life Is A Lot Easier That Way, And Obviously Life Is Pretty Difficult A Lot Of The Time.
