Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports.

There is... nothing greater than touching the shore after crossing some great body of water knowing that I've done it with my own two arms and legs.

Every human being on this planet has their pain and their heartache and it's up to all of us to find our way back to the light.

This is a lifelong dream of mine and I'm very very glad to be with you.

But for each of us, isn't life about determining your own finish line?

When I walk up on that shore in Florida, I want millions of those AARP sisters and brothers to look at me and say, 'I'm going to go write that novel I thought it was too late to do. I'm going to go work in Africa on that farm that those people need help at. I'm going to adopt a child. It's not too late, I can still live my dreams.'

If you can just immerse yourself in your life, it doesn't matter what you do everyday. Just do it intensely. Be in it, so that when you go to sleep you're exhausted every night and you say, 'Whoa, I just couldn't have done any more with that day.'
