I feel like Aaron brings out the best in me

I see my goals as personal and I always have. That's just been how I've worked.

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.

You can't put a limit anything.

My mom never really pushed me into doing something. It was kind of whatever I wanted to do, and that was what made me continue and have the longevity that I had in my career. I went through ups and downs in the pool when I loved it and when I hated it.

I've been around water my whole life, so I basically really learned at a young age the importance of it but also one day, at one point, clean water will be hard to find. There's so many people throughout the world that don't have access to clean water. Obviously we're extremely fortunate to have the opportunities that we have and to have all the water that we have. Like I said, and I can't say it enough, we all should work together to try and conserve as much as we possible can.

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