To look good in the water you have to pick the right swimsuit. I own close to 500.

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.

In swimming, everyone calls me grandma, because I'm the oldest there. Then with my friends, I'm the youngest and I'm the baby. It's definitely bizarre.

Life is all about balance: sprinting hard and fast, breathing deep and slow. Working out with my coaches, playing with my kids. Eating whole foods for fuel, enjoying a glass of wine with friends.

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

With my sport, I am outside and in the water, which can be really drying and damaging to the skin, so I try to be vigilant about taking good care of it.

I don't underestimate the power of mental preparation throughout all of my training. I'm in a much better state of mind about competition.
