Obviously for water safety, you want to learn just to be comfortable in the water; that's the main goal. I think the second that you start freaking out and feeling uncomfortable, it's not going to go well.

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

Before, it came easy for me. I don't have two speeds anymore. I need to focus on the small things that I once took for granted.

If you want to be the best you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do.

I wanted to get the fastest time in the world this year, but with everything going on, it's a pretty decent swim, ... I knew I was under world record pace. You could tell by the crowd. You can always tell at these meets when something good is going on because of the crowd.

I'm so sick of the water.

The more you dream the more you achieve.
