I'm The Same Kind Of Guy Before

I've Always Been Fortunate In That I've Been Able To Put Myself In My Own Zone And Relax. It Comes Naturally. I'm Lucky To Be That Way

Even In High School, I'd Tell My Mom I Was Sick Of Swimming And Wanted To Try To Play Golf. She Wasn't Too Happy. She'd Say, 'think About This.' And I'd Always End Up Getting Back In The Pool.

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

When We Got In The Race, We Knew What We Had To Do And Knew What We Wanted To Do. Having Three Of Four Guys From The American Record 800 Free Relay Is A Pretty Solid Relay, So We Thought We Could Take A Crack At The U.s. Open Record Tonight. We're All A Little Tired, But That's Fifth-fastest American Relay Ever, So It's Not A Bad Time. We Ended Tonight On A Great Note.

I Felt Comfortable In The Water. I Was In My Own World, Focused. I Love Sports And I'm A Very Goal-oriented Person. Once I Started Falling In Love With Sports, It Was Easy. I Was Able To Put My Mind On Something And Go For It. That's How I Am With Everything, It Doesn't Matter What It Is That I Do. If I Want To Do Something, Nothing Will Stand In My Way.
