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

I consider myself normal. I've spent 20 years in the pool. I consider that something that's normal.

Our time on Earth is already short enough. For me, it's like every single day I try to be as happy as I can. It's crazy to think about. We never have enough time. That's always the thing. We always want to do more. So it's about being able to spend time on the things that are most important to you. Life is a lot easier that way, and obviously life is pretty difficult a lot of the time.

I used to always go to church on holidays, but I don't go much any more.

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

I am excited to have the opportunity to help provide the same swim instruction that I received as a child when I was enrolled in a water safety class at five-years-old.

My little son is already like me - my mom has always said I used to bounce off the wall and never stop talking or sit still. I'm starting to see that with him. I guess it's living proof he's part of me.
