My little son is already like me - my mom has always said I used to bounce off the wall and never stop talking or sit still. I'm starting to see that with him. I guess it's living proof he's part of me.

I always have on my headphones to block out all of the other distractions and I'm just focused on doing the best that I can.... There a few of them ... DMX Party Up ... Mack 10 BC and Ice Cube Connected for Life. I also listen to the Eminem CD ...whichever song really gets me going that night

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

The only reason I started swimming was for water safety. Then, once I started falling in love with sports, I got more comfortable with it.

I want to test my maximum and see how much I can do. And I want to change the world of swimming.

When you use your imagination anything can happen.

I am excited to have the opportunity to help provide the same swim instruction that I received as a child when I was enrolled in a water safety class at five-years-old.
