When you are racing in an able-bodied competition, you're all equal and you go out there and try your best, and that's what counts.

I just want to be myself and go for my own dreams and goals.

If I'm able to go out there and achieve a dream, then anybody can do it.

Once your dream is fulfilled you face another one.

Going out there in the water, it feels as if there's nothing wrong with me.

It doesn't matter if you look different. You're still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.

I go out there and train as hard as anybody else.
