I'm up before 5 a.m., I have breakfast, then swimming, Pilates, weight training, and physical therapy. I'm constantly going from one thing to the next. Everyone is busy, but that's my busy.

Without goals, training has no direction.

I was tempted my junior year to go out of college and forgo my eligibility. I had broken several world records. I did have a lot of people telling me that I should go pro.

I don't have any superstitions, but what I always travel with is my pillow and my coffee.

I very much looked up to Janet Evans and Summer Sanders.

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

When I was little, I wasn't so little. I had a big old round belly and I was really clumsy, but I was super confident.
