I protect my skin with sunscreen and am religious about keeping my face moisturized and properly protected all day, so I also use a face lotion with SPF 30.

Almost religiously, I step away from everything and close my eyes and breathe deeply for a few moments. It helps solidify my focus and aligns everything in my body to take care of the task at hand - which is winning, of course.

I know that I do deserve good things.

The swimming community is really conservative. I don't know why, because we're in no clothing whatsoever.

My performance has improved dramatically from yoga and meditation. No athlete ever dominated by sticking to one sport all the time.

I always tell people, I'm a better swimmer because I'm a mom and a better mom because I'm swimmer.

Id go to swim practice, put my face in the water, and I didnt have to talk to anybody. Swimming was like my escape, but it was also like this huge prison because I felt like I had to swim up to peoples standards.
