Records are made to be broken.

It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.

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

Eat, sleep and swim, that's all I can do.

This is my 20th year in the sport. I've known swimming and that's it. I don't want to swim past age 30; if I continue after this Olympics, and come back in 2016, I'll be 31. I'm looking forward to being able to see the other side of the fence.

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.
