Things won’t go perfect. It’s all about how you adapt from those things and learn from mistakes.

I grew up around the pool with my sisters. Both of my sisters swam. I was always there. So I thought, why not? My mom put us in the water for water safety, so we were comfortable in the water in case anything ever happened. I learned that way, and started liking it more and more.

When you use your imagination anything can happen.

Anything is possible as long as you want it, you work for it. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, the only person that can really put pressure on you is yourself

I can't remember the last day I didn't train.

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.

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.
