The water doesn't know how old you are.

I really believe in setting goals, no matter what it is: whether it's losing five pounds or making the world championship team.

You don't have to put an age limit on your dreams.

Never worry about what anyone else is doing...Just swim your own race.

People will get into the habit of doing the same thing over and over again, and you'll stop seeing changes in your body. If you add variety and spice things up, I think it'll help you to stay motivated.

When I feel like my body is exhausted, I focus on making my fifth Olympic team so I can push through it.

Setbacks have an upside; they fuel new dreams.
