I tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, "I can do this." Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.

Ryan LochteWith swimming, I burn a lot of calories. I'm able to eat pretty much anything and it won't affect me. But I don't.
Ryan LochteI want people to see the passion I have for swimming and become more involved in the sport.
