I'm So Sick Of The Water.

I'm Pretty Lazy. My Wife Always Says, "you're The Laziest, Most Successful Olympian I've Ever Seen." How Does That Make Sense? Honestly, If I Have Downtime, I'm Really, Really Good At Not Doing Anything.

I Have The Opportunity To Be Part Of Swimming History. To Take The Sport To A New Level Would Be An Honor For Me. There's No Better Time To Try This Than Now.

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.

It's The Olympics. If You Can't Get Up To Swim Early In The Morning, Don't Go.

Water Has Always Been A Large Part Of My Life, So For Me Now, Being A Father With Another Child On The Way, I'm Just Teaching Some Of The Small Things I've Been Able To Learn - And Passing That Onto The Younger Generation. Small Things Like Turning Your Faucet Off When You Brush Your Teeth, Not Taking A 30-minute Shower When You Really Don't Need To. So I Want To Teach The Younger Generation To Spread The Message And Make A Difference. I'm Almost More Excited To Do This Than I Was To Swim.
