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

I've always been fortunate in that I've been able to put myself in my own zone and relax. It comes naturally. I'm lucky to be that way

I treat every race the same. We all wanted to swim fast today and give something back to the crowd.

Being able to do something that's never been done before, that's what I've always wanted to do. . . . There was nothing that was going to stand in my way of being the first.

So many people along the way,whatever it is you aspire to do, will tell you it can't be done. But it all it takes is imagination. You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there no limits.

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

If you say "can't" you're restricting what you can do or ever will do.
