Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home.

I've been able to get an excitement back in the water.

I like to just think of myself as a normal person who just has a passion, has a goal and a dream and goes out and does it. And that's really how I've always lived my life.

So many people along the way,whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But it all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there no limits.

I learned how fast you can go from being an international hero to being a reference in a joke on a late night talk show.

I am 26 and, and I don't recover as fast as I have in the past.

I love to race the best people in the world and the fastest people in the world.
