Why is it such a big deal what I'm swimming?

I feel most at home in the water. I disappear. That's where I belong.

I think with practice, you can being whatever you want to be, and with a goal you can go in any direction that you want to go in.

I wanted to do something nobody ever did. This goes hand in hand with my goal of changing swimming.

Once I retire, I'm retiring. I'm done.

I'm satisfied in a way because this is an eye opener for me, ... I didn't have the success I've always been able to have. I learned a lot.

There are so many things that I still want to do. My foundation, growing my brand . . . the list is endless. I'm honestly busier now than I was when I was swimming. It's kind of weird, but I feel like more of an adult because I have to do stuff every day. Whether it's checking emails or making phone calls or doing this and that, it's fun for me. It's the start of a new chapter. At times, it is frustrating, but I know it's not going to be easy to accomplish the goals that I want.
