I miss my dad every day, but I know he would be proud to see me continuing to swim and going for another shot at the Olympics.
I don't let myself get upset about the little nitpicky things anymore.
At 28, you need recovery time after training.
Being happy outside the pool means fast swimming in the pool.
After my cancer diagnosis, I really took my swimming to a new level.
I attacked my cancer diagnosis the same way I attack training and competing, and that's pretty fearless.
