Perseverance, determination, commitment, and courage-those things are real. The desire for redemption drives you.

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

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

I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.

I would visualize the best- and worst-case scenarios. Whether I get disqualified or my goggles fill up with water or I lose my goggles or I come in last, I'm ready for anything.

Not having to travel and being able to settle in has helped me in training life and school life. I've learned to get a grip and take care of myself.

I wanted to get the fastest time in the world this year, but with everything going on, it's a pretty decent swim, ... I knew I was under world record pace. You could tell by the crowd. You can always tell at these meets when something good is going on because of the crowd.
