Cooking a fantastic meal is therapeutic. I like the entire process-the chopping, the stirring. At the end, hopefully you get to enjoy a great meal with a friend or loved one.

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

I live in a swimsuit so I'm really comfortable with my body.

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.

I generally wake up at 4:30, have breakfast No. 1, then get to the pool by 5 a.m.

There's an adage that a lot of coaches have, that I completely disagree with, is if you make the Olympic team too early you become complacent.

Without goals, training has no direction.
