It's so hard to express yourself, because swimmers are pretty much paying attention to a black line for hours out of a day.

Stay motivated, set goals, have fun

I don't have a set style, but I try not to dress like everyone else.

I enjoy racing so much. Ever since I was 8 or 9, I trained every stroke, because it was the only way I could race a lot.

I was a little troublemaker. Always trying to get in trouble, always mischief, like throwing rocks at cars when I was younger, all that kind of stuff.

I have a lot of endurance and I have a good background right now in my training and it's time to get ready.

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?'
