I'm kind of a creature of habit. Once I get used to doing things, it's like second nature.

Why is it such a big deal what I'm swimming?

I try to separate my personal life from swimming.

If we can continue to come together and work on small things little by little, at least it's something. It's a start. At least now there's a lot more talk about climate change and the Earth's state than when I was a kid. I guess it's better late than never? But it's also very tricky because this is something that's so important to so many of us, and a lot of people don't see it that way. But hopefully, we can get all our points across to them - one by one, one person at a time.

You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.

I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.

There's such a high stigma around talking about your feelings or insecurities because, especially for men, we don't want to show that "weakness." But I'm always like, "OK, what would you rather do: Show weakness and get better, or continue to get worse and who knows where that leads?" There's something behind the suicide rate continuing to climb year after year. Why don't we ask for help?
