Things are moving pretty quick, and of course, the whole focus is training and getting ready and being able to prepare to be on the world's stage and hopefully do the United States proud.

That's the quickest way to my heart: Laughter.

I think that is why I do so many different things with the hair, the grills, the crazy shoes.It's just my personality coming out there.

There's so much more to me than swimming. I like to go and have fun, like to go dancing, hang out with my friends.

My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, 'You can become an Olympic champion.' And that's the first time that I'd heard someone else say that to me. I was like, 'Uh, are you talking to me?'

The big picture is the Trials and Olympics. I just have to keep focused for that, keep moving forward.

I love swimming because racing.
